Scale and rust form more easily in the cooling
system, so wash with anticorrosion liquid. Always
try to have clean and soft water circulating in the
system.
Clogging of the radiator fins is one cause of
overheating, so use air or water jets to clean the
fins. When doing this, the air nozzle must be at
right angles to the radiator.
