Water Pump - Inspect - Perkins 2206-E13 Operation And Maintenance Manual

SEBU8337
•
Inspect the fuel system for leaks. Look for loose
fuel line clamps or for loose fuel line tie-wraps.
•
Inspect the piping for the air inlet system and the
elbows for cracks and for loose clamps. Ensure
that hoses and tubes are not contacting other
hoses, tubes, wiring harnesses, etc.
•
Inspect the alternator belt and the accessory drive
belts for cracks, breaks or other damage.
Belts for multiple groove pulleys must be replaced as
matched sets. If only one belt is replaced, the belt will
carry more load than the belts that are not replaced.
The older belts are stretched. The additional load on
the new belt could cause the belt to break.
•
Drain the water and the sediment from fuel tanks
on a daily basis in order to ensure that only clean
fuel enters the fuel system.
•
Inspect the wiring and the wiring harnesses for
loose connections and for worn wires or frayed
wires.
•
Inspect the ground strap for a good connection and
for good condition.
•
Inspect the ECM to the cylinder head ground strap
for a good connection and for good condition.
•
Disconnect any battery chargers that are not
protected against the current drain of the starting
motor. Check the condition and the electrolyte level
of the batteries, unless the engine is equipped with
a maintenance free battery.
•
Check the condition of the gauges. Replace any
gauges that are cracked. Replace any gauge that
can not be calibrated.
