Checking Radiator

Check radiator for mud or clogging. If necessary, clean radiator as follows.

CAUTION:

- Be careful not to bend or damage the radiator fins.
- When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as cooling fan, radiator shroud and horns. Then tape the harness and electrical connectors to prevent water from entering.

1) Spray water to the back side of the radiator core starting at the top and working down using a side to side motion.
2) Stop washing when dirt and debris no longer flow out from the radiator.
3) Blow air into the back side of radiator core starting at the top and working down using a side to side motion until no water sprays out.
- Use compressed air lower than 490 kPa (5 kg/cm2, 71 psi) and keep distance more than 30 cm (11.8 in).
4) Check for leaks and repair if necessary.
