Heat exchanger (radiator) cleaning
Check that the air intake surfaces of the radiators are free of impurities
(dust, mud, straw etc.).
Clean them if necessary using compressed air or steam.
Turbocharger visual inspection
Only proceed when the engine is not running. Visually check that the
turbine and compressor impellers and the relative inlet and outlet
ducts are not obstructed or damaged, otherwise replace them.
Engine lubricant oil replacement
Only proceed with the engine stopped and at a low temperature, so
as to avoid the risk of burning.
Place a suitable container for collecting the spent oil under the oil
sump (2) next to the lubricant oil drain plug.
Unscrew the lubricant oil drain plug; afterwards extract the oil level
dipstick and remove the lubricant oil cap (1) to assist the flow of
the engine lubricant oil.
Wait until the oil sump (2) has completely emptied, then retighten
the lubricant oil drain plug.
Proceed with the refilling operation through the hole situated on
the tappet cover, using lubricant oil that meets the international
standards as indicated in the REFILLING table.
Use the oil dipstick to check that the lubricant oil level does not
exceed the "Max" limit.
Whether it should be difficult to make the evaluation, proceed
cleaning the oil dipstick using a clean cloth with no rag grinding and
put it back in its slot. Draw it off again and check the level.
Retighten the lubricant oil cap (1).
Together with the replacement of the engine lubricant oil it is
necessary to replace the oil filter (see LUBRICANT OIL FILTER
REPLACEMENT paragraph).
When using compressed air, it is required to use
suitable personal protections for hands, face and eyes.
The requirements can be found in the ACCIDENT
PREVENTION paragraph.
