Daily Prestarting Checks
Check the following items BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINE for the first time each day:
•
Check engine oil level on dipstick. Fill cap/dipstick
may be located on left or right side, depending on
application. Add as required, using seasonal viscosity
grade oil. (See Diesel Engine Oil — Interim Tier 4, Final
Tier 4, Stage IIIB, and Stage IV in the Fuels, Lubricants,
and Coolants Section for oil specifications.)
NOTE: Wipe all fittings, caps, and plugs before
performing any maintenance to reduce the
chance of system contamination.
•
Check the coolant level when engine is cold. Fill
radiator or surge tank with proper coolant if level is
low. (See Adding Coolant in the Service As Required
Section.) Check overall cooling system for leaks.
•
Check radiator for leaks and trash buildup.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of coolant
to weep from the coolant pump weep hole,
especially as the engine cools down and parts
contract. If enough coolant weeps from the
engine where coolant drips from the engine, this
may indicate the need to replace the coolant
pump seal. Contact your engine distributor
or servicing dealer for repairs.
•
Check fan, alternator, and accessory drive belts for
cracks, breaks or other damage.
•
Loosen water drain valve on each fuel filter all the way
so that the valve opens to drain water and debris as
needed. Retighten valves securely.
NOTE: Any water in fuel is drained into the bottom
of the fuel filters. The operator is signaled by
an amber indicator on the instrument panel.
To service, see Drain Water From Fuel Filters
in the Service As Required Section.
•
Squeeze the automatic dust unloader valve (if equipped)
on air cleaner assembly to clear away any dust buildup.
•
Check air intake restriction indicator gauge and service
air cleaner as required (if equipped).
•
Check air intake system hoses and connections for
cracks and loose clamps.
•
Inspect the engine compartment. Look for fluid leaks,
worn fan and accessory drive belts, loose connections,
and trash buildup. Remove trash buildup and have
repairs made as needed.
