23. Check radiator, debris screen:
Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual.
Thoroughly clean radiator fins at least once a day
or more in excessive conditions. Make sure debris
is not packed between fins. Use compressed air
and/or pressurized water (soap may also be needed)
to clean the radiator, depending on the level and type
of debris. If pressurized water is used, be careful not
to turn the debris hard and pack solid between the
radiator fins. Make sure to clean the radiator in the
correct direction depending on if the cooling fan is
a sucker or a pusher; do not propel the debris into
the radiator with compressed air or pressurized
water. A partially plugged radiator will not allow the
engine to cool properly. Keep the compressed air or
pressurized water a safe distance from the radiator
fins so they are not damaged. Visually inspect
the radiator fins and make sure they are not bent
or closed off, repair or replace as needed. Clean
cooling fan, shroud on air cooled engines, and the
debris screen (if so equipped). Improper service,
maintenance, or neglect will cause overheating
problems and/or engine failure.

Thoroughly clean cooler fins at least once a day
or more in excessive conditions. Make sure debris
is not packed between fins. Use compressed air
and/or pressurized water (soap may also be needed)

type of debris. If pressurized water is used, be careful
not to turn the debris hard and pack solid between
the cooler fins. Make sure to clean the cooler in the
correct direction; do not propel the debris into the
cooler with compressed air or pressurized water.
Keep the compressed air or pressurized water a
safe distance from the cooler fins so they are not
damaged. Visually inspect the cooler fins and make
sure they are not bent or closed off, repair or replace
as needed.
25. Fasten debris screen (if equipped):
