- 1.1. If necessary, clean the cooling air ducts and radiator surfaces through the openings in the front apron using a vacuum cleaner and nozzle.
Vacuum cleaner nozzle Nr.160 should be used.
NOTE: Radiator surface (vanes) dirty/soiled- Engine overheating due to lack of cooling performance
- Risk of damage to radiator surface
→ Clean radiator surface regularly.
→ Do not use a high-pressure steam cleaner.
- 1.1. If necessary, clean the cooling air ducts and radiator surfaces through the openings in the front apron using a vacuum cleaner and nozzle.
- Never use a high-pressure steam cleaner.
- 2.1. High-pressure steam cleaners can cause additional particles of dirt to attach to the radiator surfaces and the engine can overheat due to reduced cooling performance.
