MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Inspect radiating fins. They must be
clean, free of mud, dirt, leaves and any
other deposit that would prevent the
radiator to cool properly.
Remove as much deposits as you can
with your hands. If water is available in
proximity, try rinsing the radiating fins.
NOTE: Inner fenders can be removed
to ease cleaning.
If available, use a garden hose to rinse
the radiating fins.
CAUTION Never clean radiator
with your hands when it is hot. Let
the radiator cool down before clean-
ing.
NOTICE
Be careful not to damage
the radiating fins when cleaning. Do
not use any object/tool that could
damage the fins. The fins are pur-
posely thin parts to allow efficient
cooling. WHEN HOSING, USE LOW
PRESSURE ONLY, NEVER USE A
HIGH PRESSURE WASHER.
See an authorized Can-Am dealer, re-
pair shop or person of your own choos-
ing to check the performance of the
cooling system.
