Note: When radiator or engine are removed, Perform a visual inspection after rebuild and every 18,000 hours. Replace fan, if necessary.
- Clean debris off first before the visual inspection.
- Use a damp cloth with water in order to clean off debris.
Note: Never use an abrasive to clean the fan surface.
Note: Fans cannot be repaired. Replace fan between 52,000 hours and 54,000 hours.
Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, UENR5575 for information on replacing the fan.
