WARNING: These operations must be carried
out when the engine is cold. When hot, the
grilles and radiator will burn the hands
and fingers.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to bend or damage the fins
during cleaning. Areas with restricted access should be
carefully cleaned with compressed air.
IMPORTANT: If you clean using compressed air use an air
hose with a safety ON/OFF control nozzle and ALWAYS
WEAR FACE PROTECTION.
WARNING: DO NOT steam clean any air con-
ditioning system parts while the system is
charged. The heat will cause the refrigerant
to rise to a pressure that could cause the
system to explode.

WARNING: Never disconnect any pipes or hoses in
the air conditioning system to reach the condenser.
WARNING: If the tractor is to remain unused for a long
period of time, or if the system is not used, remember
to allow the air conditioner to operate for about 15
minutes each week. This precautionary measure
prevents gas from leaking from the compressor.
NOTE: The best results are obtained with a steam
cleaner that softens up the dirt. Use a lamp to check the
cleaning between the radiator fins. We recommend a
daily cleaning when front implements are used, espe-
cially front mower-conditioners.
