Installation Notes

This tool is used by automotive and diesel technicians during cooling system service. Before disconnecting any coolant hose, allow the engine to cool completely and relieve any residual system pressure by carefully loosening the coolant reservoir or radiator cap. Insert the tool into the quick-connect fitting as directed by the hose system manufacturer to release the retaining tabs without forcing or twisting the connector. Refer to the vehicle service manual for cooling system drain and refill procedures.
