I plan to change the coolant in my L3830. However, after reading the book I can't figure out how to drain the coolant out of the overflow tank. Anyone have a suggestion as to how this done other than to unbolt it and tip it over. I would think there has to be a better way. Ideas??????????????

Take a couple of feet of rubber tubing, immerse it in coolant drained from the rad, then tightly cap one end of it with your thumb, put the open end at the bottom of the overflow container, and the other end down below the overflow container and in or over the coolant drain bucket.
When you release your thumb from the end all but a few drops will be siphoned out into the bucket.
Best of luck. ....
