    CAUTION:
    To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Thermal expansion will cause hot engine coolant and steam to blow out from the radiator.

    HINT:
    Engine coolant inside the radiator is drained from the drain hole located on the bottom of the engine under cover.
