Cooling system pressure at specific altitudes and boiling points of water
Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steam and alkali.At operating temperature, engine coolant is hot and under pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine contain hot coolant or steam. Any contact can cause severe burns.Remove filler cap slowly to relieve pressure only when engine is stopped and radiator cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand.Cooling System Conditioner contains alkali. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
The coolant level must be to the correct level in order to check the coolant system. The engine must be cold and the engine must not be running. After the engine is cool, loosen the pressure cap in order to relieve the pressure out of the cooling system. Then remove the pressure cap.The level of the coolant should not be more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) from the bottom of the filler pipe. If the cooling system is equipped with a sight glass, the coolant should be to the correct level in the sight glass.Making the Correct Antifreeze Mixtures
Do not add pure antifreeze to the cooling system in order to adjust the concentration of antifreeze. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities" for the correct procedure. The pure antifreeze increases the concentration of antifreeze in the cooling system. The increased concentration increases the concentration of dissolved solids and undissolved chemical inhibitors in the cooling system. The antifreeze mixture must consist of equal quantities of antifreeze and clean soft water. Concentrations of more than 50% of antifreeze may have the adverse effect on the performance of the coolant. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities" for the correct antifreeze mixture.Test Tools For The Cooling System

4C-6500 Digital Thermometer Tooling (A) is used in the diagnosis of faults that cause overheating or overcooling in the engine. This tool can be used to check the temperature in several areas of the cooling system. The testing procedure is in Tool Operating Manual, NEHS0554.
Illustration 3 g00313263
8T-2700 Blowby/Air Flow Indicator Tooling (B) is used to check the air flow through the radiator core. Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS8712, "Using the 8T-2700 Blowby/Air Flow Indicator " for the test procedure for checking blowby and air flow.
Illustration 4 g00286276
9U-7400 Multitach Tool Group Tooling (C) is used to measure the fan speed. Refer to Operating Manual, NEHS0605, " 9U-7400 Multitach Tool Group " for the testing procedure.
