Heaters
Heaters
are a part of the heating and cooling system that people forget about
in the summer months when they develop a leak on their main water
radiator and introduce some form of radseal chemical that blocks the
radiator up to stop it from leaking but also blocks your heater
radiator so in winter hot water cannot pass through the heater so you
have cold air blowing on your feet instead of hot air to keep you warm!
Fuel Tanks
Fuel tanks are of course very dangerous if leaking and very expensive to replace but with our repairing service it is very cost effective

Radiator Care
Advice
The radiator should he kept filled with clean soft water and checked daily or more frequently if
in continuous operation in hot climates. Rainwater is preferable, as
most mains supply water is harder and may leave calcium deposits in the
cooling system. For operation in hot climates the Dexta is supplied
fitted with a radiator pressure cap This incorporates a spring
loaded valve which seals the system, raising the boiling point and
minimising loss of coolant through evaporation. The cap should be
removed before the drain taps are opened to drain the cooling system.
CAUTION: It is dangerous to remove the radiator cap when the coolant is near boiling point!
FROST PRECAUTIONS
In winter it is advisable to use an anti-freeze solution to protect against frost, as if
the coolant freezes the resulting pressures might severely damage the
engine block or the radiator. Alternatively, the cooling system may be
drained but this should not a regular practice otherwise
excessively large calcium deposits from each batch of water may block
the system. If it is necessary to top up, pour in an anti-freeze
solution when the engine it hot. This will prevent loss of the solution
via the overflow as would occur it topped up when cold.
CLEANING THE SYSTEM
In
the spring the system should be drained and flushed out thoroughly. The
rust inhibitor in the anti-freeze will not remain effective
indefinitely and it is therefore advisable to drain the cooling system
in the spring and refill with clean soft water. Drain off and
flush the system through thoroughly, using a hose pipe.The radiator
core should also be hosed down to wash out accumulated dirt and chaff
and the system finally filled with clean soft water. Before winter again drain, flush and refill with an anti-freeze solution. Always fill the radiator slowly to avoid an air lock.
MAINTENANCE
The
water pump, fan and also the generator are belt driven from the
crankshaft pulley. Every 200 hours test the fan belt free play (Fig.
23) and if it exceeds 1 inch (2,5 cm) total movement adjust by
slackening the generator mounting bolts and moving the generator away
from the cylinder block. Tighten the mounting bolts securely after
adjustment.
NEVER RUN THE ENGINE WHEN THE RADIATOR IS EMPTY!
