RADIATOR AND COOLING FAN
Always check and clean the radiator and fans at the intervals outlined in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 94.
NOTICE
Washing the vehicle with a high-pressure hose could damage the radiator fins
and impair the radiator's effectiveness. Using a high-pressure system is not
recommended.
1. Check radiator air passages for restrictions or damage.
2. Carefully straighten any bent radiator fins.
3. Inspect the cooling fans for smooth rotation.
CAUTION
Inspecting the cooling fans while the engine is running or when the engine is
still hot can result in injury. Always make sure the engine is both off and
sufficiently cooled before inspection.
4. Remove any obstructions with low pressure compressed air or low pressure
water.
COOLANT HOSES INSPECTION
CAUTION
Inspecting the cooling fans while the engine is running or when the engine is
still hot can result in injury. Always make sure the engine is both off and
sufficiently cooled before inspection.
Inspect coolant hoses for leaks, deterioration or damage at the intervals outlined
in the page 94. Leaks may appear as dry traces that are white/grey in color.
Replace worn or damaged hoses.
IMPORTANT
Prior to servicing hoses, always make sure the engine has fully cooled and to
release latent pressure by removing the surge tank cap.
