Operation
power source to keep the engine coolant warm and a 120-volt
socket for connecting to the external power source. The 120-volt
socket is mounted below the driver’s side door.
Cold Weather Operation
In order to operate the engine in temperatures of 32° F (0° C) or
lower, observe the following instructions:
•
Make certain that batteries are of sufficient size and in fully
charged condition. Check that all other electrical equipment
is in optimum condition.
•
Use permanent type engine antifreeze solution to protect
against damage by freezing.
•
At the end of each daily operation, drain water from
fuel/water separator, if equipped.
•
Fill fuel tank at end of daily operation to prevent
condensation in fuel tank.
•
Be sure to use proper cold weather lubricating oil, and be
sure crankcase is at proper level.
•
At temperatures of 20° F (-6° C) and below,
it is
recommended that you use an engine block mounted
coolant heater to improve cold starting.
•
If operating in arctic temperatures of -20° F (-29° C) or lower,
consult your International® Truck dealer for information
about special cold weather equipment and precautions.
Engine Idling
CAUTION
Because diesel engines are highly efficient, they
use very little fuel while idling. As a result, idling
in cold weather will not heat the engine to its
normal operating temperature. This in turn can
cause a build-up of heavy deposits of carbon
and rust on valve stems causing them to stick.
Sticking valves can cause significant valve train
damage.
The colder the ambient temperature,
the more likely this will occur.
The following cold weather idling guidelines must be followed:
•
Avoid extended idling (beyond 10 minutes) whenever
possible to maximize engine and Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF) life. See Exhaust Filter Regeneration in this section
for more information.
•
Use a minimum 40 Cetane diesel fuel or utilize Cetane Index
improvers from a reputable manufacturer.
•
Maintain engine cooling system.
•
Do not shut engine down after extended idling period. Drive
the vehicle under load for several miles at normal operating
temperatures to burn off any accumulated carbon and
varnish in the exhaust DPF.
•
Consider use of engine block heaters and approved
winter-fronts where conditions warrant.
