RADIATOR
RADIATOR CLEANING
Using water or a steam cleaner, remove any mud and dirt
from the radiator core.
NOTICE: If using a high pressure type cleaner, be careful not
to deform the fins of the radiator core. If the cleaner nozzle
pressure is 2,942–3,432 kPa (30–35 kgf/cm2, 427–498 psi), keep
a distance of at least 40 cm (15.75 in.) between the radiator core
and cleaner nozzle.
RADIATOR INSPECTION
1. REMOVE RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove
the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as
fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
