After
Stopping
Engine
Note:
Before
you
check
the
engine
oil,
do
not
operate
the
engine
for
at
least
10
minutes
in
order
to
allow
the
engine
oil
to
return
to
the
oil
pan.
• If the engine is equipped with a service hour
meter, note the reading. Perform the maintenance
that is in the Operation and Maintenance Manual,
“Maintenance Interval Schedule”.
• Check the crankcase oil level. Maintain the oil
level between the
“
MIN
”
mark and the
“
MAX
”
mark
on the engine oil level gauge.
• If necessary, perform minor adjustments. Repair
any leaks from the low pressure fuel system and
from the cooling, lubrication or air systems.
• Fill the fuel tank in order to help prevent
accumulation of moisture in the fuel. Do not overfill
the fuel tank.
NOTICE
Only use antifreeze/coolant mixtures recommended
in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Refill
Capacities and Recommendations” topic or in this
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Fluid Recom-
mendations” topic. Failure to do so can cause engine
damage.
Pressurized System: Hot coolant can cause seri-
ous burns. To open the cooling system filler cap,
stop the engine and wait until the cooling system
components are cool. Loosen the cooling system
pressure cap slowly in order to relieve the
pressure.
• Allow the engine to cool. Check the coolant level.
• Check the coolant for correct antifreeze protection
and the correct corrosion protection. Add the
correct coolant/water mixture, if necessary.
• Perform all required periodic maintenance on all
driven equipment. This maintenance is outlined in
the instructions from the OEM.
