2.1.1 Air Cooler - Inspect
2.1.2 Air Cooler - Clean
Blow compressed air (at a pressure of 0.29 to 0.49 MPa {3
to 5 kgf/cm
2
} [43 to 71 psi] or less) through the air cooler in
the opposite direction to the normal air flow to remove the
accumulation of dust and dirt. Then, inspect for corrosion
and cracks.

2.1.3 Air Cooler - Inspect for Leakage
Immerse the air cooler in water. In this condition, blow
compressed air (at a pressure of 0.39 MPa {4 kgf/cm
2
} [57
psi]) to the coolant passage to check for air leakage.
