RADIATOR
Keep the outside of the radiator clean by using compressed air or a
water hose. This will ensure proper air circulation and cooling of the
engine.
For the vehicles equipped with the inter-cooling device, keep the fins of
the radiator clean at all times. Normally compressed air or water is used
to clean the radiator. When there is hard scale on the radiator, steam
should be used. In order to avoid damaging the radiator fins, the flow of
air, water, or steam should be vertical to the surface of the radiator.
NOTE: It is essential to keep the radiator system clean and clear of any
obstructions, so the engine will cool adequately.
In areas, where there may be numerous flying insects, clean the
radiator fins more often.
CAUTION
Not abiding by this operating requirement could cause poor
engine cooling, and possibly severe damage to engine
components.
