Ipayipi le-radiator yenjini isikhathi eside lizoguga, kulula ukuliphula, amanzi kulula ukungena ku-radiator, ipayipi liphukile ngenkathi lishayela, ukuphuma kwamanzi okushisa okuphezulu kuzokwakha iqembu elikhulu lokukhishwa komphunga wamanzi esivalweni senjini, lapho lesi simo senzeka, kufanele sikhethe indawo ephephile yokuma ngokushesha, bese sithatha izinyathelo eziphuthumayo zokuxazulula.
Ngokuvamile, uma i-radiator isemanzini, ijoyinti lepayipi yilona elingase lidale imifantu nokuvuza. Ngalesi sikhathi, ungayisika ingxenye eyonakele ngesikelo, bese ufaka ipayipi endaweni yokungena ye-radiator futhi, bese uyiqinisa nge-clip noma ucingo. Uma umfantu usengxenyeni ephakathi yepayipi, ungasonga umfantu ovuzayo nge-tape. Sula ipayipi ngaphambi kokuyisonga, bese usonga i-tape uzungeze ukuvuza ngemva kokuba ukuvuza komile. Ngenxa yokuthi umfutho wamanzi epayipini uphezulu lapho injini isebenza, i-tape kufanele iboshwe ngokuqinile ngangokunokwenzeka. Uma ungenayo i-tape esandleni, ungasonga nephepha lepulasitiki uzungeze ukudabuka kuqala, bese usika indwangu endala ibe yimichilo bese uyisonga uzungeze ipayipi. Ngezinye izikhathi umfantu wepayipi mkhulu, futhi ungase usavuza ngemva kokubhajwa. Ngalesi sikhathi, isembozo sethangi singavulwa ukuze kuncishiswe ingcindezi emgwaqweni wamanzi futhi kuncishiswe ukuvuza.
Ngemva kokuthathwa kwezinyathelo ezingenhla, isivinini senjini akufanele sibe sishesha kakhulu, futhi kuyadingeka ukulengisa ukushayela okusezingeni eliphezulu ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngesikhathi sokushayela, kuyadingeka futhi ukunaka indawo yokukhomba yesilinganiso sokushisa kwamanzi. Uma izinga lokushisa lamanzi liphezulu kakhulu, kuyadingeka ukuma bese upholisa noma wengeze amanzi okupholisa.
I-radiator ihlukaniswe ngezindlela ezintathu zokufaka, njengohlangothi olufanayo olungaphakathi, uhlangothi olufanayo olungaphandle, uhlangothi oluhlukile olungaphakathi, uhlangothi oluhlukile olungaphandle, kanye nokwehla nokwehla. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iyiphi indlela engasetshenziswa, kufanele sizame ukunciphisa inani lezinto zokufaka amapayipi. Uma izinto zokufaka amapayipi eziningi, izindleko azigcini nje ngokukhuphuka, kodwa nezingozi ezifihliwe zizokwanda.
