WARNING

Caustic fluids

- Danger of chemical burns

-> Avoid contact with caustic fluid.
-> Wear personal protective gear.
-> Ensure that there is good ventilation.
-> If you do come into contact, wash off immediately with plenty of warm water and contact a doctor if necessary.

1. Relieve pressure in the cooling system. To do this, carefully open the cover of the coolant reservoir.
2. Clamp shut the coolant hose to the left and right on the radiator using hose clamps.

WARNING

Hot fluid

- Danger of scalding

-> Let the fluid cool down.
-> Wear personal protective gear.

Information

Despite the fact that the coolant has been drained, residual amounts of coolant can still emerge at the joints during removal. Have sufficient collecting containers and cloths to hand.

3. Disconnect coolant hoses from the radiator flanges.
3.1. Release spring clamps -arrow- at the Henn couplings and pull off coolant hoses.
