Coolant
Super Cruiser radiators are fitted with a header tank.
This allows for expansion of the coolant when the
engine warms up. The radiator cap allows excess
fluid to drain out of the over flow if the coolant
expands too much. The coolant level must be visible
from the lid of the header tank. The level will be 50
mm below the lid when the engine is cool.
Coolant level must be checked DAILY.
CAUTION: Never remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot.
The header tank is fitted with a level sensor. If
the coolant drops below this sensor the engine
controller will send an alarm through to the CanTrak
console and shut the engine down.
Coolant must be checked at regular service intervals.
Refer to maintenance schedule. Test kits are available
from Cummins to check this.
The coolant must be replaced every 2000 hours.
Quantity and type can be found in Chapter 10
‘Lubrication & Maintenance’.
There are ball valves located on the heater hoses
at the rear of the engine and also at the header
tank. These ball valves can be isolated during hotter
periods to allow the air conditioning system to
operate more efficiently. When replacing the entire
coolant system these ball valves must be opened so
that all the air is bled from the coolant lines.
Engine Drive Belt
The engine drive belt is a serpentine belt that has
a self tensioner on it. The belt requires inspection
at regular service intervals. If the belt begins to slip
the belt may require replacement as it can become
laminated or slippery. If the tensioner looses its
tension it can also cause the belt to slip and must be
replaced. The belt should be replaced every 1000
hours.
To replace the engine drive belt insert a ½” drive
into the tensioner arm and pull upwards.
Pull the belt off the pulleys and off the fan.
Fit the new belt in reverse, ensure all pulleys are
aligned correctly with the belt before releasing the
tensioner.
Air Conditioner Belt
The air conditioner compressor belt has a manual
adjuster. To tension the belt the compressor
mounting bolt and adjuster bolt must be loosened.
To tighten the belt, use the lock nuts on the adjuster
to pivot the compressor and pull the belt tight.
When the belt is correctly tensioned tighten the
retaining hardware.
There should be no more than 12 mm deflection
in the belt when it is tensioned correctly. The
compressor belt should be replaced every 1000
hours.
Engine Air Cleaner
The air cleaner is mounted to the top of the engine
on the front right hand side. A vacuum gauge alerts
the operator when the air cleaner becomes blocked.
It is mounted to the side platform just in front of the
windscreen on the left hand side and is visible from
the cabin. The gauge will operate in the middle range
when in normal working conditions, and in the ‘RED’
zone when blocked. This indicates that it is time to
remove the primary filter and replace it.
