Cleaning the Radiator Core
Moving Parts.
Will cause severe injury or death.
During operation, some parts of the generator set can become extremely hot. To avoid
burns, allow the engine to cool sufficiently before cleaning the radiator core.
Always stop the engine before cleaning the radiator core. DO NOT cleaning the radiator
core while the engine is running.
Always put the generator set in OFF mode before cleaning the radiator core. If the
generator set is in AUTO mode, the generator set may start automatically, without warning.
Due to the large volume of air flowing across the radiator, debris may be pulled into the radiator, clog the
fins, and reduce air flow. Reduced air flow across the radiator reduces the cooling efficiency of the
radiator and may cause the generator set to run hotter or overheat. Periodic cleaning of the radiator core
is recommended to ensure proper air flow.
Visually inspect the core for any obstructions, such as dirt or other foreign objects. Use running water to
flush debris from between the fins.
NOTICE: DO NOT use hard objects to clean the radiator core. DO NOT use high pressure water to
clean the radiator core. Damage to radiator could result. Radiator damage caused by improper cleaning
is not covered under warranty.
