Section 4: Maintenance
NOTE: Normal maintenance, service, and replacement
of parts are the responsibility of the owner and are not
considered defects in materials or workmanship within
the terms of the warranty. It is strongly recommended
that equipment be periodically checked by an IASD.
Maintenance Tasks
Daily checks must be performed when unit is operated
continuously for extended periods of time. Daily checks
and routine monthly checks can be performed by an
authorized operator.
Daily Walk Around Inspection
See
Maintenance Schedule
Look for conditions that could hinder performance or
safety, such as (but not limited to) oil, coolant, or fuel
leakage, blocked vents, loose or missing hardware, and
improper electrical connections. Check for foreign matter
blocking the vents and on top of unit.
Inspect engine air cleaner service indicator
•
Inspect outer cover for significant damage beyond
•
scuffs and small nicks.
Inspect for wire abrasion.
•
Inspect the fan belt for cracks, fraying, and stretch-
•
ing. Verify belt is properly seated in the pulley
grooves. Every 750 hours, it is recommended that
the belt be removed and checked for wear. While
belt is removed, inspect pulleys and bearing.
Rotate and feel for hard turning or unusual sounds.
Check coolant.
•
Check electrical connectors, battery, and ground
•
points. Look for loose or missing hardware.
Check all flexible rubber hoses for deterioration.
•
Check hydraulic hoses for signs of wear.
•
Verify hoses are not crushed, kinked or twisted.
•
Verify there are no cracks or corrosion.
•
Checking Engine Oil Level
Engine damage. Verify proper type and quantity of
engine oil prior to starting engine. Failure to do so
could result in engine damage.
NOTE: If engine was running, wait at least ten minutes
before proceeding.
1. Remove oil dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean, lint
free cloth.
Owner's Manual for Flameless Air Heater
for additional daily tasks.
CAUTION
2. Slowly insert the clean oil dipstick into the tube.
Verify the oil dipstick is fully seated in the oil
dipstick tube.
3. After 10 seconds, remove the oil dipstick and look
at the oil level on both sides. The lower of the two
readings will be the correct oil level measurement.
4. Add oil (if necessary) to adjust the level. After add-
ing or changing the oil, the engine should run for
one minute before checking the oil level. Wait ten
minutes to allow the engine to cool and oil to fully
drain into the oil pan.
Typical causes of inaccurate oil level readings:
Reading the high level of the dipstick.
•
Reading the dipstick before the oil fully drains into
•
the oil pan.
Inserting and removing the dipstick too quickly.
•
The dipstick is not fully seated in the dipstick tube.
