Cleaning
WARNING
Proper eye, skin, and clothing protection must be worn while operating the cleaning tool or serious

NOTE
The cleaning tool is designed to remove deposits of sand, oil, clay, and other debris from the oil cooler
cooling fins while installed in the vehicle. It consists of two tubes connected to a mixing head which
produces two high-pressure jets of liquid/air mixture. The air supply tube has a push button valve with a
1/4 in. (6.4 mm) female pipe thread to connect to a 5 cubic-foot (142 liter [L] ), 5090 psi (345621 kPa)
air supply. The liquid supply tube is attached to a 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) inside diameter (i.d.) by 6 foot (1.83
meter) rubber hose for siphoning from a suitable clean container. The cleaning agent can be a solution of
detergent and water, or nontoxic, nonflammable solvent and water. Mix one part of detergent or solvent
to approximately five parts of water. A solution of detergent or solvent and water is recommended.
NOTE
Use a standard military 5-gallon (19 L) water can to hold the soap solution or cleaning solvent.
