Routine Preventive Maintenance
Perform the following maintenance on the Lubricating Oil Filter:
1. Replace the oil filters when recommended by the appropriate maintenance
table.
Refer to section "Preventive Maintenance Tables"
2. Make a visual check of all lubricating oil lines for wear and/or chafing. If any
indication of wear is evident, replace the oil lines and correct the cause.
3. Check for oil leaks after starting the engine.
Monitoring the Cooling System
The cooling system must be full for proper operation of the engine.
WARNING: HOT COOLANT
To avoid scalding from the expulsion of hot coolant, never
remove the cooling system pressure cap while the engine is at
operating temperature. Wear adequate protective clothing (face
shield, rubber gloves, apron, and boots). Remove the cap slowly
to relieve pressure.
1. Check the coolant level daily and maintain it between the full and low marks
on the surge tank.
2. Add coolant as required, but do not overfill. Before adding coolant, refer to
"How to Select Coolant" for the listing of required intervals using the
recommended coolants
