or Table 8. Replace coolant/antifreeze at least once a
year.
3. Check radiator hoses for fatigue or cracking. Replace
any defective hoses immediately.
4. Check radiator cap seal and replace as necessary.
5. Blow off dirt and dust from fins and radiator with 28 psi
(193 kPa) or less of compressed air (Figure 24). Be
careful not to damage the fins with the compressed air.
