5. CLEANING

5.1 CLEANING THE EXTERIOR OF RADIATOR AND AIR COOLER

Inhalation of dust may have serious

consequences for your health.

Take the necessary precautions,

such as wearing goggles and a

facemask.

Note:

With the aid of a simple tool, the radiator and the

air cooler can be blow-cleaned.

The tool (radiator cleaner) cannot be ordered

from DAF. It should be manufactured by yourself

according to the drawing.

Key to drawing:

1.

If the vehicle has air conditioning, loosen the

support of the refrigerant pipes (1) on the

radiator and remove the condenser from the

air cooler supports. Push the condenser as

far as possible forwards.
