## ⚙️ Key Features

-   8.0 kg
-   22 applications across five engine series
-   Supersedes 862287 and 863014
-   Distinct from the 11-application protector 862957

## 🔌 Function

Shields the radiator face so debris cannot reach the core and bend or hole the fins.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Radiator fins bent, flattened or holed where the protector no longer covers them
-   Protector distorted, dented or torn at a mounting point
-   Mounting holes elongated or the frame fretted bright
-   Rattle or drumming from the protector at certain speeds
-   Corrosion eating through the protector at its lower edge

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Protector 862957 sits only 165 grams away at 8.165 kg, so weight will not separate the two; this number supersedes 862287 and 863014 while 862957 supersedes nothing, which is the reliable distinction
-   This is a freight-scale item at 8 kg, so support it before releasing the last fastener, and refit it before the engine is run
-   Straighten and clean the radiator fins behind it while it is off
