Injection is the method, which should be used

for the following cases, those dealing with static,
those when dismantling is not possible, and those
when the air cooler uses a high–pressure machine.
In this procedure, the A.C.C. is directly injected into
the air cooler unit, which is then left to soak for
as long as is needed, in order to keep the depos-
its soft. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly with plenty of
fresh warm water using a high pressure supply and
blow it dry with air.
Note that if necessary, the cleaning procedure
may be repeated depending on the degree of de-
posit accumulation.
This cleaning method is only recommended if ap-
proved by engine manufacturers.
