Introduction

Congratulations on your selection of the COOLANTCLEAN 1000 Cooling System Service Unit.
By choosing this product, you are acquiring the most technologically advanced method
available for performing cooling system services and coolant exchanges.

The COOLANTCLEAN 1000 System is designed to service most automotive applications by
exchanging most of the coolant in the vehicle’s cooling system. Connections to the vehicle are
achieved with the supplied adaptors. Partial service can be completed by using the cone
adapter in the radiator fill neck. Complete service can be completed by using the adapters that
install in-line between the vehicle’s radiator & upper radiator hose.

Once connected, the unit can be safely used to:

 Relieve system pressure to provide safe, worry-free access to the vehicle’s system.
 Pull down or evacuate the coolant levels in the radiator and overflow tanks,

providing a safe connection of the unit without hot coolant worries.

 Service the cooling systems by exchanging the coolant in the vehicle’s system.
 Completely or partially empty a vehicles coolant system for repair procedures.
 Evacuate air from empty coolant system in order to eliminate air pockets.
 Refill coolant system with clean or used fluid saved from prior evacuation.

With the vehicle’s engine off, the COOLANTCLEAN 1000 unit can be used to vacuum off the
pressure from a hot system prior to removal of the radiator cap. Partial evacuation of the coolant
can be accomplished using the cone adapter in the radiator neck. Complete evacuation of the
coolant can be accomplished by loosening the upper radiator hose connection to allow air into
engine.

It is recommended that vehicles (with conventional type coolant) have their cooling systems
serviced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, or according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Periodic service intervals are recommended to provide proper protection against overheating
and breakdown of the coolant’s protective properties. Old coolant can no longer protect against
rust or acids that can break down metal & aluminum parts in the system.

Have all associated personnel study this Operators Manual completely to become thoroughly
familiar with
the COOLANTCLEAN 1000 Cooling System Service Unit & it’s proper operation.
