Maintenance Recommendations

CAUTION: Never spray cold water on a hot radiator. The radiator fins are necessary for good heat transfer and should not be brushed as this could damage the fins.

At least once per year, the front face of the radiator should be cleaned. In northern climates, spring is a good time of year to do this cleaning, as road salt residue on the radiator can cause corrosion. Insects leaves and other debris can be removed by blowing compressed air through the radiator core from the back. Water can be used on both sides of the radiator.
