TM 5-3810-207-20/TO 36C23-3-37-12Section III. CRANE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM95. GeneralThe engine temperature is controlled by thecirculation of coolant through the coolant pump, whichforces the coolant through the engine water jackets andback into the radiator for cooling. Until the engine is upto operating temperature, all or part of the coolantleaving the engine is bypassed, by means of athermostat, directly to the pump for recirculation.Draincocks are located on the bottom of the radiator andon the forward, left side of the engine block.96.
