Installation Instructions
Part A
Installing A New Radiator (Replacing old, faulty, or damaged radiator existing in vehicle)
Step
1: Prior to removing the existing radiator, the cooling system must be
inspected for evidence of stray/electric current (this is only possible
when the cooling system is still in operation.)
Stray/electric
current causes a highly destructive from of corrosion, electrolysis.
This is caused by the passage of even the smallest (0.03 volt) current
through the coolant in the system.
The
resulting fast acting corrosion attacks not only the radiator and heater
cores, but can also cause severe and expensive damage to alloy cylinder
heads, water pumps, thermostats, and other components and parts including
the auto transmission.
This
condition occurs within the cooling system mainly due to current seeking
an easy path through the coolant to ground. Typically stray/electric
current is the result of accident damage to the vehicle,
poor installation of electrical components and faults occurring in electrical components.
To
test for stray/electric current,use an analogue voltmeter with
sensitivity of 0.03 volts or a stray current detector by first placing
the positive lead directly into the coolant (through the filler neck on
the radiator),
or
in the overflow bottle (for a closed system), making sure that the
terminal is not in contact with any surrounding metal surface. Then
attach the negative lead to the battery earth (negative terminal), and
switch on all of the electrical systems, one at a time.
First with
the engine running and then repeating the process with the engine
turned off. A reading of more than 0.03 volts or a positive (red
light)indicates a damaging current is likely to be present in the
cooling system.
This
procedure will enable you to establish by process of elimination the
source of any current. It is imperative that the source of any current
traveling through the coolant is located, repaired or replaced prior to
installing a new radiator assembly.
Note: Additional
electric accessories can be the source of stray/electric current. If
additional accessories have been fitted or repairs undertaken, repeat
stray current check.
DO NOT PROCEED IF UNABLE TO ESTABLISH THE SOURCE OF ANY DETECTED CURRENT. CONSULT A QUALIFIED AUTO ELECTRICIAN FOR ASSISTANCE.
Step 3: Fill
the system with water and treat with quality alkaline cooling
system flushing agent. Observe the instructions on the container, ensure
that the vehicle’s heater is turned on and that the radiator overflow
bottle is clean.
Step 7: Correctly
install the new radiator assembly – replace fault or worn
components.Check vehicle service manual for any additional procedures
applicable to radiator installation.
Step 8: Fill
system with clean water and perform stray/electric current test
procedure as outlined in Step 1. Proceed if result is negative.
Step 10: Install
the recommended coolant (type and dosage) for this vehicle as
specified by the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual. When using a
concentrate inhibitor, use distilled or demineralized water.
ATTENTION!
Do
not mix any coolant brands together. Correct coolant selection
andinstallation is essential to ensure maximum corrosion protection for
allcomponent parts within the engine cooling system.
Coolant/inhibitors are added to the cooling system for three reasons:
-
To increase the boiling and freezing point of the water.
-
To lubricate those moving parts of the engine that are in contact with water.
-
To
provide a film barrier between the potentially corrosive water and
the various types of metals founds within the engine and cooling
system.
The
inhibitor continually replaces the protective barrier as the corrosive
elements of the water dissolve the barrier. However, because this is a
continual process,
the coolant/inhibitors
become depleted after a time to the point where they no longer provide
this protective coating. Alkaline corrosion can begin on the inside of
the radiator tubes
because
the coolants/inhibitors from different manufacturers have different
chemical compounds which may adversely react if mixed. It is important
not to create a chemical cocktail by mixing different brands of
coolant/inhibitor.
ATTENTION!
Do not remove the Radiator Cap
