Checking Cleaning Radiator to Prevent Overheating
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Engine components can get extremely hot from operation.
To prevent severe burns, do not touch these areas while
the engine is running, or immediately after it is turned off.
Never operate the engine without heat shields or guards.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
• Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key before
cleaning.
NOTE
• The air intake area must be clear of debris to prevent the
engine from overheating.
• When assembling the panel screen (1), be sure to fit it to
panel with no clearance at the bottom.
Daily or after every 5 hours of operation, check to be sure the
radiator screen (2) and radiator core are clean. Dirt or chaff on the
radiator screen (2) or radiator core decrease cooling performance.
1. Remove the radiator screen (2) and panel screen (1) and
remove all foreign material.
2. Remove the dust from between the fins and the tube.
3. Tighten the fan drive belt as necessary. For this, refer to "[3]
CHECK POINTS OF EVERY 100 HOURS" on page G-32.
4. If scale forms in the tube, clean with the scale inhibitor or its
equivalent.
5. Each time the panel screen (1) is covered with grass during
operation, rub it off the screen with hand. Check the radiator
screen (2) from time to time if grass accumulates.
6. If the dust or chaff has accumulated inside of the panel, remove
the radiator screen (2) and clean inside completely. After
cleaning, reinstall the radiator screen (2) properly.
