Removal & Installation: Notes
WARNING:
Never remove the coolant pressure cap under any circumstances while the engine is operating. Do not operate the engine with the hood open until the fan blades have been examined for cracks and separation. Remove fuse No. 14 from the front power distribution fuse box prior to performing any under hood service in the area of the cooling fan when the engine is hot, since the cooling fan motor could operate if the engine has been switched off. Never remove the coolant pressure cap under any circumstances while the engine is operating. To avoid having scalding hot water or steam blow out of cooling system, use extreme care when removing coolant expansion tank cap from a hot cooling system. Wait until engine has cooled. Wrap a thick cloth around coolant expansion tank cap and turn it slowly until pressure begins to release. Step back while pressure is released from system. When certain all system pressure has been released (still using a cloth), continue removing coolant expansion tank cap. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or damage to the engine.
