Checking The Vibration Damper - Detroit Diesel DD15 EuroIV Operator's Manual

Routine Preventive Maintenance

Checking the Vibration Damper

Check the vibration damper as follows:
1. Inspect the viscous vibration damper (1) periodically and replace if dented or
leaking.
2. Heat from normal engine operation may, over a period of time, cause the
fluid within the damper to break down and lose its dampening properties. For
this reason, replace the viscous vibration damper at time of normal major
engine overhaul, regardless of apparent condition.
