Maintenance Instructions
Engine Fluids and Contaminated Material
GOVERNMENT
REGULATION:
Engine
fluids
(oil, fuel, and coolant) may be a hazard to human
health and the environment.
Handle all fluids and
other contaminated materials (such as filters or
rags) in accordance with applicable regulations.
Recycle or dispose of engine fluids, filters, and
other contaminated materials according to applicable
regulations.
Scheduled Maintenance
For information regarding routine scheduled maintenance such
as replacement of oil, filters, coolant, belts, belt tensioners, and
inspection and adjustment of items such as valve lash, refer to
the Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual supplied with the
vehicle.
Air Induction System
WARNING
To prevent property damage, personal injury, and
/ or death, when performing maintenance and
repairs to any turbocharged engine with engine
air inlet piping disconnected, a turbocharger
compressor air inlet protective shield should be
installed over the turbocharger air inlet.
Once each year perform a complete inspection of the air
induction system.
In areas where road salt is used, the
inspection consists of disassembling the joints of each metal
component and inspecting for salt buildup that can cause
particles to flake off and enter the engine combustion chambers.
If evidence of corrosion is found (usually appearing at the pipe
connections), use a wire brush to clean the inside of the pipes
and inside of the rubber hoses.
If the intake pipes are pitted at the joint ends, use RTV Silicone
to seal the joints. Be certain that no excess material that can be
pulled into the engine is on the inside of the pipe. If the service
condition of the pipes, hoses, or clamps is questionable, replace
those parts.
•
Check for loose hoses and clamps.
•
Check for ruptured, bulging, or collapsed hoses.
•
Check air cleaner housing for cracks.
Air Restriction Gauge
The air restriction gauge indicates how much engine air cleaner
filter capacity has been used and how much filter capacity
remains. It measures maximum restriction of the filter element
when the engine is operated at full load and locks at that
point. This feature gives the operator the capability of reading
maximum restriction with the engine shut down.
The gauge is mounted on the forward side of the air cleaner
housing, or optionally on the center instrument panel / wing
panel.
