Cooler Matrix
To ensure maximum efficiency of the cooling system the cooler matrix must be kept as clean
as possible to allow air to flow freely through the unit; this is especially important in dry hot
arduous conditions where the matrix can rapidly become blocked by dust causing the
machine to overheat.
The unit is best cleaned using a high pressure air line that will clear blocked areas without
risk of damage to the matrix.
