CHECKING FUEL TANK LEVEL
The fuel level is shown by the fuel level gauge on the
instrument panel. After operation each day, the fuel
tank should be filled to prevent water from condensing
in the tank. To fill, remove the filler cap and add fuel.
See the
Lubrication
chapter for the diesel fuel require-
ments.
CHECKING FUEL FILTERS
NOTE:
The engine is equipped with a water-in-
fuel sensor at the primary fuel filter (D). An error
code will display in the multi-function display.
Check the fuel filters (B) and (D) for water or debris.
If filter is fitted with a see-through bowl, drain as need-
ed based on a daily visual inspection.
IMPORTANT:
Drain water into a suitable contain-
er and dispose of properly.
a.
Disconnect water sensor wire from drain plug (A)
on fuel filter (D).
b.
Loosen half turn to one turn drain plugs (A) at
bottom of fuel filters or bowls.
c.
When fuel starts to drain out, tighten drain plugs
securely.
e.
Reconnect water sensor wire.
After draining water from the fuel filters, the filters
must be primed by bleeding all air from the fuel sys-
tem. Refer to the fuel bleeding procedure on page 61.
A drain plug is also provided in the bottom of the fuel
tank for removing condensation and other foreign
materials. Open the plug and allow water and fuel to
drain into a container until only clear fuel is flowing
from the tank.
CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
With the machine on level ground, and the engine
stopped for ten minutes or more, slide open the right
side engine panel and remove the engine dipstick.
Wipe it clean, re-insert it and remove to obtain a read-
ing. If the oil level is below the crosshatch pattern on
the dipstick, fill with the required amount of oil to
bring the level to within the crosshatch pattern. Oil lev-
els anywhere within the crosshatch are considered full.
See the
Lubrication
chapter for the type of oil to use.
CHECKING COOLANT LEVEL
With the machine on level ground, and the engine cool,
check the coolant level in the coolant surge tank locat-
ed under the engine cover. Using a flashlight if needed,
check the level through the viewing window as shown.
The tank has a cold maximum and minimum level. The
level should be between the maximum and minimum
level. If the coolant level is below the minimum level,
add a silicate-free, phosphate-free, borate-free and
nitrite-free ethylene glycol based coolant mixed with
deionized water suitable for heavy-duty diesel engines.
See the engine manual for additional information.
Coolant should be added by removing the cap on the
top of the surge tank. Replace the cap securely.
NOTE:
If the engine is operated with a loose
surge tank cap, the pressure bypass will not work
and the engine will run hot.
WARNING
DO NOT remove the surge tank cap when the
engine is running hot or overheated. Coolant
is extremely hot and under pressure and it can
burn your skin. Allow sufficient time for the
radiator to cool BEFORE relieving the pres-
sure and removing the cap.
