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 corrosiv e. 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

New Coolant
Green Hose
Tank C ap & Plug
Quick
Coupler
New Coolant Tank
(Small)
The MCX-2 has two tanks (plus an extra New Coolant Tank) which are installed and
connected from the rear. Quick connec t couplers are mounted on the hoses which
connect these tanks to the MCX-2. A green hose connects to the small New Coolant
Tank and a black hose connects to the large W aste Tank. The small diameter black
drain hose must be inserted into the hole in the cap of the 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
proportion s specified by the coolant supplier. The tank can be disconnected
and moved to a bulk coolant storage area for filling 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-2. 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. The small diameter black drain hose must be inserted into the
hole in the cap of the Waste Tank.
5. Fasten the clips on the tank strap to secure the tanks in the MCX-2.

The MCX-2 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 negati ve 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).

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-2 does not need to be connected to power for the following.
The MCX-2 will relieve the pressure in a hot-car radiator by draw ing a v acuum on the
overflow port on the radiator cap.
Shop air (55 to 100 PSI), connected to the rear port of the MCX-2 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-2 c ont rol 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 coola nt wil l 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.

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.
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 Wa n d t o 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.
7. Press bottom of LOWER RADIATOR & OVERFLOW selector switch to turn off
pump.
8. Replace caps on the radiator and overflow container.
Page 7
CONNECTING TO THE COOLANT SYSTEM
The MCX-2 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-2 to the two Step Adapters
as shown in the illustrations. 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.
Page 10
TEST COOLANT SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
The MCX-2 can be used to check the coolant system for leaks. The coolant system is
pressurized and the System Pressure Gauge on the MCX-2 is monitored for a drop in
pressure which would indicate a system leak.

The MCX-2 should be connected a shown above.
1. Turn control valve to TEST.
2. Press the top of EXCHANGE COOLANT OR FILL RADIATOR & OVERFLOW
selector switch to turn on the pump.
3. Watch the System Pressure Gauge and press the bottom of the EXCHANGE
COOLANT OR FILL RADIATOR & OVERFLOW selector switch when the
pressure reaches 10 to 13 PSI.
4. The coolant system is now pressurized. Monitor the pressure for a constant
reading. A coolant system leak is indicated if the pressure falls.

CHANGING COOLANT TYPE
The MCX-2 has a means for easily using different types of coolants. A special feature
is the clearing process which purges coolant from the hoses and pumps prior to
changing the new coolant tank. The MCX-2 must be connected to a battery during this
procedure.
