Air Intake Line - Check - Case WX145 Operator's Manual

SECTION 4

AIR INTAKE LINE - CHECK

Hoses and tubes for air intake damaged or leaking,
influence enormously the performance and life of
the engine.
Dirt or pieces of the intake air can reach the engine
and damage it heavily.
The feeding pressure created by the turbocharger
could dissipate with the consequence that the
engine does not develop its full power.
The engine must not be allowed to draw in unfiltered
air, therefore:
- check the tightness of all hoses and pipes of fil-
tered air;
- check that all clamps are in place and well tight;
- check that all fittings of hoses and pipes are not
rusty under the clamps. Rust could detach from
hoses and pipes and reach the engine.
Remove immediately
replace at once the damaged components.
MULTI-COOLER - CLEANING
CAUTION
Start the cleaning operation only after the standstill
of all moving components, assemblies and after the
engine, silencer and cooler have cooled down.
Wear protective gloves and goggles before starting
to clean with compressed air.
If the machine is working in a very dusty environ-
ment, the cooler has to be cleaned more frequently
as prescribed by the service schedule.
Do not use pointed or hard tools to clean the cooler,
as for instance, metallic brushes and screwdrivers.
They could damage the cooling fins.
The cooler for the turbocharger air, is installed inside
of a hood containing draining holes for condensate.
If the holes are clogged and the condensate accu-
mulated, when it freezes, the cooler could get dam-
aged.
Check periodically, before and during the cold sea-
son, that the draining holes are free.
