| *a | More than 30° |
Pump the cap tester several times, and check the maximum pressure*.
| Item | Specified Condition |
| Standard value (for brand-new cap) | 93 to 123 kPa (1.0 to 1.3 kgf/cm2, 13.5 to 18 psi) |
| Minimum standard value (after using cap) | 79 kPa (0.8 kgf/cm2, 11.4 psi) |
| 2. INSPECT FINS FOR BLOCKAGE |
![]() |
Check that the radiator and condenser are not blocked with leaves, dirt, or insects. Clean the hose connection. If the fins are clogged, wash them with water or a steam cleaner and dry with compressed air.
