■ Checking Radiator Hose and Clamp
Park the vehicle on a flat surface and raise the
cargo bed. Check to see if radiator hoses are
properly fixed every 200 hours of operation or
six months, whichever comes first.
1. If hose clamps are loose or water leaks,
tighten bands securely.
2. Replace hoses and tighten hose clamps
securely, if radiator hoses are swollen,
hardened or cracked. Replace hoses and
hose clamps every 2 years or earlier, if
checked and found that hoses are
swollen, hardened or cracked.
