To the Operator
This guide contains instructions on the
safe operation and preventive mainte-
nance of your Detroit Diesel Series 60
engine used in vehicle, stationary, con-
struction/industrial, agricultural, gener-
ator set or fire fighting apparatus
applications. Maintenance instructions
cover routine engine services such as
lube oil and filter changes in enough
detail to permit self-servicing, if desired.
The operator should become familiar
with the contents of this guide before
operating the engine or carrying out
maintenance procedures.
Power-driven equipment is only as
safe as the person operating the con-
trols. You are urged, as the operator of
this diesel engine, to keep fingers and
clothing away from the revolving belts,
drive shafts, etc. on the engine installa-
tion.
Throughout this guide CAUTIONS
regarding personal safety and
Coolant must be inhibited with the recommended SCA's (supplemental coolant addi-
tives) listed in the "How to Select Coolant" section of this engine operator's guide. In
addition, the engine can be equipped with a coolant filter/inhibitor system as an
installed option or as an after-sale item. Failure to check and maintain SCA levels at
required concentrations will result in severe damage (corrosion) to the engine cooling
system and related components.
The applicable engine warranty is contained in the booklet entitled "Warranty
Information for Series 60 Engines," available from authorized Detroit Diesel service
outlets.
Keep this Operators Guide with the engine installation at all times. It con-
tains important operating, maintenance, and safety instructions.
