Engine Maintenance 9-3
Add oil as necessary to reach the full mark. See the “Specifications” chapter of this manual for correct type of oil.
Oil Filter Change
Both oil filters should be changed along with the engine oil. Use genuine Thermo King extended maintenance oil filters.
1. Remove the filter.
2. Apply oil to rubber ring of new filter and install filter.
3. Tighten the filter until the rubber ring makes contact, then tighten 1/2 turn more.
4. Start the unit and check for leaks.
ENGINE AIR CLEANER (EMI 2000)
The EMI 2000 air cleaner used with this unit is a dry element air cleaner. The air cleaner filters all of the air entering the engine.
Excessive restriction of the air intake system affects horsepower, fuel consumption and engine life. Inspect the element at every
oil change.
Replace the EMI 2000 air cleaner filter element at 2,000 hours, or 1 year, whichever occurs first.
CRANKCASE BREATHER SYSTEM
The crankcase breather system ducts crankcase gases formed in the crankcase directly to the air intake. Harmful vapors that
would otherwise collect in the crankcase and contaminate the oil, or escape to the outside, are drawn back into the engine and
burned.
The crankcase breather is located in the cylinder head cover, which is a combination of valve cover and intake manifold. A
restrictor in the cylinder head cover limits the flow of gases from the crankcase to the intake and keeps the crankcase pressure
from getting too low.
