RADIATOR INSPECTION
1. CHECK RADIATOR CAP
Using radiator cap tester, pump the tester until relief
valve opens. Check that the valve opens between 174
kPa (0.75 kgf/cm
2
, 10.7 psi) and 103 kPa (1.05 kgf/
cm
2
, 14.9 psi).
Check that pressure gauge does not drop rapidly
when pressure on cap is below 59 kPa (0.6 kgf/cm
2
,
8.5 psi).
If either check is not within limit, replace the radiator
cap.

RADIATOR CLEANING
Using water or a steam cleaner, remove mud and dirt
from the radiator core.
NOTICE: If using a high–pressure type cleaner, be car–
eful not to deform the fins of the radiator core. For
example, keep a distance of more than 40–50 cm (15.75
–19.69 in.) between the radiator core and cleaner nozzle
when the cleaner nozzle pressure is 2.942–3.432 kPa (30
–35 kgf/cm
2
. 427–498 psi).
