Maintenance
for the following procedure.
Daily Maintenance (Start of Each Shift)
NOTE:
Check coolant level when cold.
1.
Coolant should be at full level of cold gauge.
2.
Fill cooling system as required with coolant.
See engine manufacturer’s manual for antifreeze and
coolant additive recommendations.
3.
Look for coolant leaks while engine is running. Correct if
found.
Semiannual Checks
1.
Inspect fill cap and thermostat for proper operation and
replace worn parts:
-
Fill cap relieves at 15 psi (1,03 bar).
-
Thermostat closes at 180°F (82°C) and opens fully
at 200°F (93°C).
2.
Inspect water pump belts for wear and proper
adjustment (see engine manufacturer’s manual).
3.
Inspect cooling system hoses for deterioration and other
defects. Replace as necessary.
4.
Tighten hose clamps.
5.
Clean all dirt and other debris from outside of radiator.
6.
Check that overflow line on tank is open.
Draining Cooling System
Drain radiator system, as follows:
1.
Stop engine.
2.
Remove the cooler assembly fill cap.
3.
Open drain valve and drain coolant into a suitable
container.
4.
Close the drain valve once the system is completely
drained.
Filling Cooling System
See the engine manufacturer’s manual for antifreeze and
coolant additive recommendations. Add coolant to FULL
(COLD) LEVEL as determined on checks per the schedule in
the engine owner’s manual.
1.
Fill cooling system through cooler assembly fill cap to
FULL (COLD) LEVEL mark on sight gauge. Coolant
system capacity is approximately 21 gallons (79,5 liters).
2.
Look for coolant leaks while engine is running. Correct if
found.
3.
Stop engine, wait until engine is cool, and refill cooling
system to FULL (COLD) level mark.
Supplemental Coolant Additive
Supplemental Coolant Additive must be added to the cooling
system to prevent liner pitting and for scaling protection.
Check SCA concentration according to the schedule in the
engine manufacturer’s operator manual and per warnings,
cautions and instructions in the engine manufacturer’s
service manual.
WARNING
Burn Hazard!
Avoid personal injury from heated coolant spray or steam
— do not remove radiator cap from hot engine. Stop
engine and wait until coolant temperature is below 120°F
(50°C). Then:
•
Place a protective covering over fill cap.
•
Slowly turn fill cap counterclockwise until it stops at
safety detent.
•
Wait until pressure (indicated by hissing sound) is
completely relieved.
•
Depress fill cap and turn counterclockwise to remove.
CAUTION!
Overheating Hazard!
Avoid engine damage from overheating — do not allow
coolant level to go below low level on gauge.
CAUTION!
Engine Damage!
The required coolant level must be maintained to prevent
engine damage.
Do not remove the deaeration tank fill cap from a hot
engine. Allow the engine to cool below 50°C (120°F)
before adding coolant.
Do not add cold coolant to a hot engine. Engine castings
can be damaged. Allow the engine to cool below 50°C
(120°F) before adding coolant.
Coolant is toxic. Do not ingest. If not reused, dispose of in
a c c o r d a n c e w i t h a l l l o c a l a n d o t h e r a p p l i c a b l e
environmental regulations.
