radiator ns. Make sure to clean the radiator in the
correct direction depending on if the cooling fan is
a sucker or a pusher; do not propel the debris into
the radiator with compressed air or pressurized
water. A partially plugged radiator will not allow the
engine to cool properly. Keep the compressed air or
p ressurized water a safe distance from the radiator
fins so they are not damaged. Visually inspect
the radiator ns and make sure they are not bent

correct direction; do not propel the debris into the
cooler with compressed air or pressurized water.
Keep the compressed air or pressurized water a
safe distance from the cooler ns so they are not
