Do not remove radiator cap when the engine is hot; steam and hot coolant can escape and burn
personnel. Use extreme care when removing radiator pressure cap. Sudden release or pressure can
cause a steam flash which could seriously injure personnel. Slowly loosen cap to the first stop to
relieve pressure before removing cap completely. After use securely tighten cap. Use a clean, thick
waste cloth or like material to remove cap. Avoid using gloves. If hot water soaks through gloves,
personnel could be burned.
