Radiator Screen
In order to maintain maximum air flow through the engine
cooling system’s radiator, oil cooler, and air conditioning
condenser, the cooling air intake grille (fig. 7.15) must be
inspected often and periodically cleaned.
Compressed air will dislodge most large trash or loose dirt
after the screen has been swung out for service. Blow out the
screen away from the machine. Water from a pressurized hose
may also be used, or if necessary the screen may be soaked
with soapy water and scrubbed with a brush.

Hydraulic Suction Filter
Remove and install a new 10 Micron rated suction filter (fig.
7.16) at the end of the first 50 hours of use; subsequently,
replace the filter every 250 hours, or once a year, whichever
comes first.
VII.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
Failure to keep cooling systems clean
can cause over heating and damage to
the hydrostatic system and/or engine.
NOTE:
When cleaning cooling fins of the radiator, oil
cooler, or A/C condenser with compressed
air or water, be careful not to damage cooling
fins which may impair cooling capabilities.
