RELIEVING RADIATOR PRESSURE
WARNING: Coolant in the vehicle cooling system may be extremely hot and
under great pressure. Wear safety glasses and use protective
clothing and gloves. Use extreme caution when removing radiator
cap and hoses.
NOTE: The MCX-2F does not need to be connected to power for the following.
The MCX-2F will relieve the pressure in a hot-car radiator by drawing a vacuum on the
overflow port on the radiator cap.
Shop air (55 to 100 PSI), connected to the rear port of the MCX-2F causes a vacuum
to be pulled on the small diameter clear hose, also connected to the rear. This clear
hose is connected to the overflow port on the radiator cap as shown above.
The system Vacuum Gauge on the MCX-2F control panel indicates the vacuum level
which will increase until the radiator cap opens and relieves the pressure. As the
pressure releases a small amount of coolant will be seen flowing in the clear hose.
When the pressure has been relieved, the radiator cap will again close and the vacuum
level will increase and become steady on the gauge.
The radiator cap can now be slowly and carefully removed.

shown below. The choice is dependent on the ease of accessability to the hose
connections.
1. Turn both valves on the front of the MCX-2F to EXCHANGE.
2. Disconnect the radiator hose from either the engine or the radiator.
3. Select an Adapter Hose with the same inner diameter as the radiator hose and
connect at the point the radiator hose was disconnected using a clamp.
4. Install Step Adapters in the Adapter Hose and the radiator hose using clamps.
Make sure the outside diameter of the Step Adapters is the same as the inner
diameter of the radiator hose.
5. Connect the Green and Black hoses from the MCX-2F to the two Step Adapters
as shown in the illustrations. See next page for special hookups.

SPECIAL HOOKUPS
Special Hookup 1) It may be necessary to reverse the hoses during the coolant
replacement procedure on the next page for systems with a
reverse-connected thermostat. See note after Step 6 on next
page for the symptoms of this situation.
Special Hookup 2) Some cooling systems do not have a cap on the radiator.
Instead, there is a single cap on the overflow tank as shown in
the illustration below.
The hoses to and from the overflow tank must be pinched using
hose pinching pliers during the coolant replacement procedure
on the next page.
Failure to pinch these hoses will cause fluid to be forced out of
the vented cap on the overflow tank during the coolant
replacement procedure.

ENGINE FLUSH
The engine can be flushed with a chemical additive with the MCX-2F connected as
described in preceding pages. Two valves located on the front panel each have two
positions - EXCHANGE and BYPASS.
When the valves are both turned to the BYPASS position the coolant in the vehicle
bypasses the MCX-2F. It flows through the green and black hoses which are connected
together inside the MCX-2F by the two valves being in the BYPASS position.
Flush (or leak sealant) additives can be added to the vehicle cooling system through
the radiator fill port. The engine can then be started to circulate the additives throughout
the cooling system.
Connecting the MCX-2F to the cooling system prior to adding additives and running the
engine eliminates the need to make connections involving hot coolant.
Coolant bypasses MCX-2F when both valves are turned to BYPASS
