Cleaning screen on Radiator (L5740 HST)

Ranger Rick, thank you. I was planning to swing by TSC, today, for a couple other items. Just added this to my list.

I have a L3700SU, and to remove the screen I have to disconnect the hose to the air filter since it passes right on top of the screen.

Can that nozzle fit between the radiator and the screen without having to remove the screen? That would be helpful for a quick dust off while not taking a long break from mowing in the really dirty part of the season.

When a compressor is not handy, for a quick clean up in the middle of a job, I hit it from the side with a Stihl leaf blower.

I did this, then pulled the screens to make sure it was doing an acceptable job. It works on my M8540 and L5030; don't know about a L3700.

I had stopped by TSC to pick up one of those 2' blow nozzles. I like it, plus it seems like the better "routine" method versus using water jetted from the garden hose which I'm sure I'll still do occasionally.

Thanks for the suggestion!:thumbsup:

I grabbed a couple too; been looking for something like that, but was looking in the wrong places.
