METHOD FOR CLEANING FINS BY ROTATING COOLING FAN IN REVERSE
NOTICE
When rotating the fan in the reverse direction, beware extremely that dirt will not fly out and cloth, etc.
will not be wound in the fan.
Since dust may be blown up, check that there is no people around while the fan is rotating in reverse.
On the job site where the dirt sticks easily to radiator or cooler, set the automatic cooling fan to rotate the fan in
reverse. This will blow off any dirt stuck to radiator or cooler, and can extend the cleaning interval.
