🔌 Function

Closes off and protects the assembly beneath it, keeping oil in and keeping hands and debris out.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Rub marks, polished patches or contact damage on the guard or on the fan
• Bent, cracked or corroded bars or mesh, or a section that has broken away
• Loose, missing or elongated fixings, or a guard that rattles or buzzes at certain engine speeds
• Debris trapped against the guard restricting airflow, with cooling temperatures creeping up

🛠️ Service Notes

• Never run the engine with the guard removed or only partly fixed — this is a safety item over a fan that will take a hand or a loose tool
• Renew rather than straighten a guard that has been bent, cracked or has lost material; a distorted guard can foul the fan
• Check clearance to the fan and to belts, hoses and wiring all round after fitting, and turn the engine over by hand to confirm nothing touches
• Use all the original fixings and the correct fasteners, secured against vibration, and check them at routine services — engine vibration works guard fixings loose
• Keep the guard clear of debris so it does not restrict airflow through the cooling pack
