4.2 Clean Radiator Fins and
Inspect Hoses
To prevent generator set from shutting down or
becoming damaged due to overheating, keep the
cooling air inlets clean and unobstructed at all times.
Inspect the exterior of the radiator for obstructions;
remove all dirt and foreign material with a soft brush or
cloth (to avoid damaging radiator fins). Check all hoses
and connections for leaks and replace any hoses that
are cracked, frayed, or feel spongy. When coolant level
checks are made, check the condition of the radiator cap
rubber seal; replace if cracked or deteriorating. Remove
dirt and other debris from the radiator cap and filler neck.
