Cooling system filler cap
Pressurized System: Hot coolant can cause seri-
ous burns. To open the cooling system filler cap,
stop the engine and wait until the cooling system
components are cool. Loosen the cooling system
pressure cap slowly in order to relieve the
pressure.
1.
Remove the cooling system filler cap slowly in
order to relieve pressure.
2.
Maintain the coolant level at the maximum mark
that is correct for your application. If the engine is
equipped with a sight glass, maintain the coolant
level to the correct level in the sight glass.
3.
Clean the cooling system filler cap and inspect the
gasket. If the gasket is damaged, discard the old
filler cap and install a new filler cap. If the gasket is
not damaged, use a suitable pressurizing pump in
order to pressure test the filler cap. The correct
pressure is stamped on the face of the filler cap. If
the filler cap does not retain the correct pressure,
install a new filler cap.
4.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.

NOTICE
Accumulated grease and oil on an engine is a fire
hazard. Keep the engine clean. Remove debris and
fluid spills whenever a significant quantity accumu-
lates on the engine.
NOTICE
Failure to protect some engine components from
washing may make your engine warranty invalid. Al-
low the engine to cool for one hour before washing
the engine.
Periodic cleaning of the engine is recommended.
Steam cleaning the engine will remove accumulated
oil and grease. A clean engine provides the following
benefits:
• Easy detection of fluid leaks
• Maximum heat transfer characteristics
• Ease of maintenance
Note:
Caution must be used to prevent electrical
components from being damaged by excessive water
when the engine is cleaned. Do not direct the flow of
water from pressure washers or steam cleaners at
any electrical connectors or the junction of cables.
Avoid electrical components such as the alternator
and the starter motor. Protect the fuel injection pump
from fluids when washing the engine.
