Step by Step Guide to Joining Radiators
Radiator must be laid on a flat surface before commenc-
ing joining. (See figure 1)
The joining surface must be clean. The surface can be
painted or unpainted from the factory. If it’s painted make
sure that the paint is not chipped.
If chipped paint is present, surface must be sanded to
ensure a clean surface.
If the surface is painted clean with no chips, that is satis-
factory.
