Rincon Rad Relocation Intallation

[Rubberdown]

These are pretty simple instructions (simple meaning very basic since its been a while since I did this kit). Any added tips would be greatly appreciated and I can add them to the instructions.

- To remove the radiator on the Rincon, pretty much the entire front set of plastics must be removed. The front rack CAN be removed with the rack remaining attached to the rack.

- Once the plastics are removed, you can remove the radiator hoses from the rad and let them drain into a drain pan for proper disposal.

- Remove the radiator from the ATV but leave the oil cooler in place. It is necessary to unbolt the oil cooler from the radiator but it will be secured in place with the supplied oil cooler brackets seen below.

- You can not bolt the oil cooler into position with the new brackets and hardware supplied as pictured below.

- The front plastics and rack can now be put back onto the ATV.

- You can now assemble your rad bracket and position it on the front rack, the kit in these instructions is a "custom cut design" and likely will not look like your kit.

- It is a very good idea to clean your rad while it is out of the machine before you put it into the new bracket, for this I suggest you remove the fan from the radiator so you can get every part of the rad clean and free from any clogs it might have.

To prevent cutting holes for the new hoses I decided to run the hoses through the front opening as pictured below.

- The overflow bottle on this one is a bit of a PITA so I had to attach it to the inner side of the bracket with a couple zip ties, it keeps it mostly out of site and is still functional like this.

- After installation is complete, you can fill your rad. You may be required to "burb" the system to free it of any air bubbles that can disrupt the flow of coolant.

Paul...when I did mine...I moved the overflow bottle just a little up from the factory location.
I also secured it with zip ties...but it was accessed by removing the black plastic cover in front of the handlebars...and remained hidden.
This made for a much cleaner install.
I wish I had a pic to show you...but never photographed that for some unknown reason.
