How about the service manual?

Onan's Generator Handbook has lots of service tips and diagrams as well:

And don't forget your Onan owner manual for a detailed diagram showing where everything is located and accessed.

The biggest problem with a coolant change is air in the lines. Very difficult to avoid and it prevents coolant circulation so that the genset overheats (shutdown) in about 5 minutes. May have to disconnect lines to burp them, but sometimes repeated warm-up & cool-down cycles gradually works the air out  and you can then add more coolant. If you cannot get the radiator to take the required amount of coolant initially, you will have to struggle with this. Don't worry - the Onan won't let any harm occur.
