Radiator
Inspect radiator fins. They must be
clean, free of mud, dirt, leaves and any
other deposit that would prevent the
radiator to cool properly.
Remove the deposits as much as you
can with your hands. If water is avail-
able in proximity, try rinsing the radia-
tor fins.
If available, use a garden hose to rinse
the radiator fins.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage
the radiator fins when cleaning. Do
not use any object/tool that could
damage the fins. The fins are pur-
posely thin parts to allow efficient
cooling. When hosing, use low pres-
sure only.

The muffler must be periodically purged
of accumulated carbon. See the mainte-
nance chart.
