Inspect radiator and hoses for leaks or
any damage.
Inspect radiating fins. They must be
clean, free of mud, dirt, leaves and any
other deposit that would prevent the
radiator to cool properly.
Remove as much deposits as you can
with your hands. If water is available in
proximity, try rinsing the radiating fins.
If available, use a garden hose to rinse
the radiating fins.

hands when it is hot. Let the ra-
diator cool down before cleaning.
