4.7.10.g CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE RADI-
ATORS
DANGER
•
If compressed air, steam or water are directed against a
person, they may cause injuries.
Always wear an eye shield and safety shoes.
To clean the outside of the radiators it is first necessary to re-
move the guard (1) positioned on the front of the engine hood.
To remove the guard (1), remove the relevant fastening screws
(2). Use a 17 mm hexagon spanner.
The outside of the radiators must be cleaned with a jet of com-
pressed air and, if necessary, with a low-pressure water or
steam washing cycle; the specific products available on the mar-
ket can certainly be used, provided that the instructions given on
the package are followed and that the washed parts are carefully
dried at the end of the operations.
After the washing cycle, put back the guard (1) with the relevant
fastening screws (2).
Use a 17 mm hexagon spanner.
IMPORTANT
☞
•
Do not use products containing even a slight quantity of
oily substances, since these facilitate the adhesion of
dust, which affects the heat exchange adversely.
•
Clean the outside of the radiators whenever the radiator
or the heat exchanger are dirtied, even if accidentally, with
oil, diesel oil, greasy or oily substances.
