RADIATOR 

1. Apply compressed air to the rear of the radiator. 

2. Straighten any flattened fins with a thin, flathead screwdriver.

 

 

3. Replace radiator hoses if radiator hoses for cracks or damage. 

 

THERMOSTAT 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Suspend the thermostat in a container filled with water. 

2. Slowly heat the water. 

3. Place a thermometer in the water. 

4. While stirring the water, observe the thermostat and 

thermometer’s indicated temperature 

 

5. If the accuracy of the thermostat is in doubt, replace it. A 

faulty thermostat could cause serious overheating or 

overcooling.
