Filling Radiator Through Surge Tank

CAUTION:

TS281-UN-23AUG88

Remove filler cap only when cool enough to touch with bare hands and with engine stopped.

Do not remove filler cap until all system pressure is relieved. Relieve pressure by slowly loosening cap to relieve pressure before removing completely.

IMPORTANT: In case of excessive coolant loss, never pour cold water into a hot engine, as it might crack cylinder block or head.

Never operate, even for a few minutes, engine without coolant.

Never fill radiator when engine is overheated, unless engine is idling slowly. Pour coolant in slowly.

Never use high silicate automotive coolant.

NOTE: Fill system with specified coolant that contains coolant conditioner. (See DIESEL ENGINE COOLANT in Fuel, Coolant, and Lubricants section).
