WARNING
Always wear eye protection when using compressed
air. Never use compressed air in excess of 20 psi
(138 kPa) for cleaning purposes. Never point the air
nozzle at another individual; serious personal injury
can occur from contact with compressed air.
Do not use screwdrivers or sharp tools to clean the
radiator core. Sharp edges can damage the core
and cause coolant leaks. Use commercially avail-
able fins tools for repair of bent fins.
CAUTION
Allow the engine coolant to completely cool before
removing the radiator cap. Hot coolant sprayed from
the cap can cause serious personal injury.
