Abstract

A mobile work machine is provided with an onboard washing system. The washing system has a mixing device which mixes a predetermined amount of concentrated cleaning fluid with water based on the flow rate of water passing through the mixing device and delivers a resulting washing fluid mixture to a sprayer for delivery by a plurality of nozzles toward a radiator core. A fan further induces the washing fluid mixture to pass through the radiator core.
