Caution: NEVER spray water on a hot heat exchanger. The resulting steam could cause personal injury.
Notice: The heat exchanger fins are necessary for good heat transfer. Do not brush the fins. This may cause damage to
the fins, reducing heat transfer.
• | Inspect the hoses for flexibility and no signs of bulging. |
• | Inspect the hoses for cracks, cuts, kinks and areas of possible
leaks. |
• | Inspect the brackets, supports, ties and clamps. |
• | Replace and adjust as needed. |
Important: Do not brush the radiator fins. The radiator fins are necessary for
good heat transfer. Brushing damages the fins and reduces heat transfer.
Clean the front face of the radiator annually.
• | Clean the front face of the condenser. |
• | Remove bugs, leaves, etc. by blowing compressed air through the
radiator. |
| Blow the air from the rear toward the front. If compressed air is not
available a water hose can be used to force water through the radiator. |
| Use water only with the engine not running and cool. |
