SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
C Read and understand the Operation Manual completely before operating this unit.
C Always wear proper eye and skin protection when operating and maintaining this
equipment.
C Take precautions to keep clothing, hair, hands, hoses, etc. away from all moving
parts on the vehicle.
C Automotive cooling systems can be under pressure and extremely hot. Allow the
cooling system to cool down and use extreme caution when removing caps and hoses.
C Coolants are poisonous to people and animals and are also corrosive. Clean up any
spills immediately.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PRECAUTIONS AS OUTLINED IN
THE OPERATION MANUAL CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, VEHICLE OR EQUIPMENT WHICH WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED OR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
C Do not allow waste coolant tank to overflow. Immediately clean up any coolant
spills. Damage to the vehicle and equipment can result from the corrosiveness of coolant.
C Continuous monitoring of the coolant replacement process is required.

New Coolant

Tank Cap & Plug
Quick
Coupler
New Coolant Tank
(Small)
The MCX-1 has two tanks (plus an extra New Coolant Tank) which are installed and connected from the rear. Quick connect couplers are mounted on the hoses which connect these tanks to the MCX-1. A green hose connects to the small New Coolant Tank and a black hose connects to the large Waste Tank.
1. Slide the New Coolant Tank to the rear and sit it on the floor.
2. Remove the tank cap and fill the tank with new coolant and water in the proportions specified by the coolant supplier. The tank can be disconnected and moved to a bulk storage and fill area if desired. A plug is provided on the cap to prevent spillage during transport.
3. Replace the tank cap and position the tank in the MCX-1. Make sure the green hose is securely connected. Slide the tank to the front so the liquid level can be seen through the front panel slot.
4. Make sure the plugs are removed from the caps on the waste tank and
the new coolant tank. This is required for venting the tanks during operation.
5. Fasten the clips on the tank strap to secure the tanks in the MCX-1.

The MCX-1 control panel is illustrated above. Note that the bottom of all three selector switches has been pressed which turns all functions off. Make sure all switches are
off before connecting the battery cable clips to the battery of the vehicle.
WARNING: Handle battery connection cable with extreme caution. Batteries
generate explosive gases during normal operation. Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid or other automotive battery is dangerous. Wear eye protection. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery. Do not connect the black power clip to the negative post of the battery to avoid a spark.
1. Verify that all switches are in the off position.
2. Connect the red power clip to the “+” (positive) post of the vehicle battery. The battery must be 12 volt.
3. Connect black power clip to an engine ground (not the negative post of the battery).

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.
Black Hose
1. Slowly and carefully remove the cap from the radiator.
2. Remove cap from overflow container.
3. Attach the wand to the black hose. Close the valve.
4. Turn control valve to LOWER RADIATOR & OVERFLOW.
5. Press the top of LOWER RADIATOR & OVERFLOW selector switch to turn on pump.
6. Use the Wand to empty the overflow container and lower the level of coolant in the radiator to a level just below the upper hose connecting the radiator to the engine. Open valve on wand as required.
VERY IMPORTANT
Open valve on wand only while end is in fluid.
Do not suck air as the pump may loose its prime.
7. Press bottom of LOWER RADIATOR & OVERFLOW selector switch to turn off pump.
8. Replace caps on the radiator and overflow container.
Page 6
CONNECTING TO THE COOLANT SYSTEM
The MCX-1 can be connected to the cooling system in either of the configurations shown below. The choice is dependent on the ease of accessability to the hose connections.
1. Disconnect the radiator hose from either the engine or the radiator.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Connect the Green and Black hoses from the MCX-1 to the two Step Adapters as shown in the following illustration. See next page for special hookups.
5. Open the valves on the two Step Adapters.

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.

1. Determine the capacity and type of coolant for the vehicle cooling system. Refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual.
2. Make sure the New Coolant Tank (left slot on front) is filled with the correct coolant and at a level higher than the amount required to fill the coolant system to full capacity.
3. Check the Waste Tank (right slot on front) to make sure the level is low enough to accept the full capacity of coolant in the vehicle cooling system.
4. Turn control valve to EXCHANGE COOLANT.
5. Press the top of EXCHANGE COOLANT OR FILL RADIATOR & OVERFLOW selector switch to turn on the pump.
6. Watch the level of coolant as it lowers in the New Coolant Tank. Press the bottom of the EXCHANGE COOLANT OR FILL RADIATOR & OVERFLOW selector switch when it reaches the correct level. This will stop the transfer of coolant.
If the pump is running and the new coolant level does not go down:
Try reversing the connections of the green and black hoses.
