DAILY MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
D1. Engine - Check Engine Oil Level
Check the oil level daily with the engine stopped.
If
necessary, add sufficient oil to raise the level to the proper
mark on the dipstick. All diesel engines are designed to use
some oil, so periodic addition of oil is normal.
If the oil level is constantly above normal and excess lube oil
has not been added to the crankcase, contact the engine
maker's authorized service outlet listed in the Engine Manual.
Fuel or coolant dilution of lube oil can result in serious engine
damage.
Never
operate the engine with the oil level below the "L" (low)
mark or above the "H" (high) mark on the oil dipstick. Wait at
least 15 minutes after shutting off the engine to check the oil.
This allows time for the oil to drain to the oil pan.
Engine Oil Capacities:
Hatz: 13 Liters (14 quarts)
Deutz: 8 liters (8.5 quarts)
D2. Reserved
D3. Engine - Check Fuel Filter
D4. Engine - Inspect Cooling Fan on Engine (Cummins Engine Only)
Warning:
Personal injury can result from a fan blade
failure. Never pull or pry on the fan. This can damage the
fan blade(s) and cause fan failure.
NOTE: Rotate the crankshaft by using the engine barring
gear.
Check for cracks, loose rivets, and bent or loose blades.
Check the fan to make sure it is securely mounted. Tight
the capscrews if necessary. Replace any fan that is
damaged.
D5. Engine - Inspect Drive Belt
Check the belts and tighten the fan drive, battery-charging
alternator and other accessory drive belts. Belts should be
neither too tight nor too loose. Belts that are too tight
impose excess loads on the crankshaft, fan, and/or
alternator bearings, shortening both belt and bearing life.
Excessively overtightened belts can result in crankshaft
breakage. A loose belt will slip and may cause damage to
accessory components.
Visually inspect the belt. Check the belt for intersecting
cracks. Transverse (across the belt width) cracks are
acceptable. Longitudinal (direction of the belt length)
cracks that intersect with transverse cracks are
not
acceptable. Replace the belt if it is frayed or has pieces of
material missing.
