Cleaning The Oil Cooler - SAME SOLARIS 35 Use And Maintenance

SECTION V MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the oil cooler

The radiator is located in the front of the engine compartment.
The oil cooler can be cleaned with a compressed air jet, or, if necessary, a
steam jet (max. pressure 6 bar/87 psi) or a water jet.
If the engine is to be cleaned at the same time, protect the air filter, the
alternator and the starter motor.
Once all the components have been replaced, run the engine for a few
minutes so that it heats up and dries any parts still wet.
Cleaning with detergents
If you use detergents to clean the oil cooler, use commercial products that
dissolve oil.
The detegrent can be mixed with water for application by spray gun or
brush.
After applying the solution, wait after few minutes, then rinse off with clean
water.
Cleaning with compressed air
This operation is only suitable for removing dust. When cleaning the grilles
or cab filter screens, make sure that the compressed air jet is directed in
the opposite direction to the normal air flow.
Important: failure to keep the oil cooler clean can lead to overheating of
the lubricated parts.
Warning: every time you clean the tractor, observe the applicable
regulations for environmental protection.
