Cleaning The Outside Of The Radiator - Komatsu WB93S-5 F50003 Operation & Maintenance Manual

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
4.8.10.g CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE RADIATOR
If compressed air, steam or water are directed against a person, they may cause injuries.
q
Wear goggles and safety shoes.
To clean the outside of the radiator it is first necessary to loosen
the screws (2) and remove the guard (1) positioned on the front of
the engine hood. Use a 17 mm hex wrench.
The cleaning must be carried out using a compressed air jet and,
if necessary, with a low pressure water or steam washing cycle;
the specific detergents available on the market can certainly be
used, provided that the instructions given on the package are
followed and that the washed parts are carefully dried.
After washing, put back the front guard (1).
IMPORTANTE
Do not use products containing even a slight quantity of
q
oily substances, since these facilitate the adhesion of dust,
which affects the heat exchange adversely.
Clean the outside of the radiator whenever the radiator is
q
dirtied, even if accidentally, with oil, diesel oil, greasy or
oily substances.
If the machine is used in dusty places, clean the radiator
q
and the heat exchanger more frequently, in order to prevent
the fins from clogging.
