Allow the engine or the engine aftertreatment system to cool before any maintenance is performed on the engine or the engine aftertreatment system.

Relieve all pressure in the appropriate system before any lines, fittings or related items are disconnected. Coolant When the engine is at operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot. The coolant is also under pressure. The radiator and all lines to the heaters or to the engine contain hot coolant. Any contact with hot coolant or with steam can cause severe burns. Allow cooling system components to cool before the cooling system is drained.
