2. Hang the cooler and steam clean through
the inlet end first.
Steam is extremely hot. Proceed with caution.
Failure to heed this warning may result in

Do NOT let the steam and air nozzles touch the
EGR fins during cleaning. Failure to heed this
caution may result in severe component damage.
3. Steam and soot should flow out of the lower
end of the cooler.
4. Turn the cooler end for end and steam clean
through the outlet end until clear water flows.
Set shop air pressure at 172 kPa (25 psi).

shop air into the inlet end until the cooler is
dry.

any soot or carbon remains in the cooler,
reclean as needed.
8. When the cooler is dry (clear of water and
cleaning solution), assemble it on the
engine.
