Water Pump
The water pump is provided with a sealed bearing.
Adjusting or greasing will not be necessary.
Hose Connections
Check periodically to ensure all the connections are in good
order and the clips are tight. A leaking connection results in
loss of coolant and thus engine efficiency.
When using antifreeze in the cooling system, it is
absolutely essential to have efficient connection so check
these and should there be any doubt as to their
serviceability, renew.
Fan & Fan Belts
A 7 Blade metallic fan is mounted on water pump and is
driven vide fan belt by the main drive pulley. While the
engine is in operation, the fan sucks air through the
radiator core.
Slippage of belt on pulley can cause over heating. The Fan
belts shall always be dry and free from oil or Grease.
Incorrect belt tension results in its rapid wear.
Main drive pulley is assembled on a roller bearing mounted
shaft. Grease nipple is provided on front cover to grease the
bearings. Grease the bearings every 600 hrs. of operation.
Belt Adjustment
To adjust belt tension, loosen the alternator on the
adjustable bracket and lock the bolt in the location that
gives correct belt tension (270-320 N) such that the belt can
be depressed without much effort by the thumb, 0.25 to
0.4 inch.
Belt Removal
1. Loosen the Nut (C).
2. Push the alternator down.
3. Ease the fan belt off the alternator pulley.
4. Ease the fan belt off the main drive pulley.
5. Slide out the belt from water pump pulley over the fan
blades.
Belt Replacement
Reverse the procedure of fan belt removal stated above.
Adjust the fan belt tension as previously detailed.
Draining the System
Two drain plugs must be opened. One is on L.H. side of
crankcase and one on radiator bottom tank. To speed up
draining, remove the radiator cap. Ensure that the drains
are not clogged. Close the taps after draining is complete.
Cleaning out Dirt and Sludge
Drain cooling system as directed above. Fill the cooling
system with a solution of 1.0 Kg. of ordinary baking soda
to 8.0 litres (2.11 US Gallons) of water.
Do not replace the radiator cap. Operate the engine until
the coolant is hot. Drain, flush with clean water and refill
with a rust inhibitor or anti-freeze solution.
NOTE : Under normal conditions use Lithium
based NLGI-2 grease with EP additives.
Contact your Mahindra dealer for grade of
grease to be used under extreme ambient
conditions.
