TO DRAIN COOLING SYSTEM.

the water to the drain if desired. The cylinder heads
must be drained by means of the special pump provided in
the tool kit. Each head has a plug which can be removed
in order to insert the nozzle of the pump. A filter is
provided inside the radiator filler and is easily lifted
out. This should be kept free of all dirt and deposits.
