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.

holes towards the radiator (2), and blow-

clean the radiator (2).
