MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE RADIATOR FINS AND OIL

COOLER FINS

Wear required appropriate equipment

such as protective goggle and ﬁlter mask

when using compressed air, as metal

fragments or other objects can ﬂy and

cause serious injury.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to damage

the ﬁns when cleaning.

• When using compressed air or

pressurized water, make sure the

pressure is no higher than 200 kPa (28

psi) and hold the nozzle sufﬁciently

away from the ﬁns.

IMPORTANT: When using water, cover the

electrical system to prevent water from

getting in.

IMPORTANT: When operating the

machine in very dusty places, perform

inspection and maintenance operations

every day.

EVERY 250 HOURS

1. Open the engine hood.

2. Blow compressed air on the ﬁns to

remove mud and dirt stuck on them.
