Radiator Cleaning

Warning

NEVER spray water on a hot heat exchanger. The resulting steam could cause personal injury.

Caution:
The heat exchanger fins are necessary for good heat transfer. Do not brush the fins. This may cause damage to the fins, reducing heat transfer.

Note:
Blow compressed air through the engine side of the radiator to remove any foreign material, such as insects, leaves, and dust.

* Warm water and mild soap may be needed in some conditions.

* Wash the A/C condenser fin.

* Wash the A/C condenser and radiator thoroughly.

* Wash the radiator cooling fin.

* Repair any damaged cooling fin.
