After Stopping Engine
Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid
penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel
spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow
these inspection, maintenance and service in-
structions may cause personal injury or death.
• After the engine has stopped, you must wait for 10
minutes to allow the fuel pressure to be purged
from the high-pressure fuel lines before any
service or repair is performed on the engine fuel
lines. If necessary, perform minor adjustments.
Repair any leaks from the low-pressure fuel
system and from the cooling, lubrication, or air
systems. Replace any high-pressure fuel line that
has leaked. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly
Manual, "Fuel Injection Lines - Install".
• Check the crankcase oil level. Maintain the oil
level between the "MIN" mark and the "MAX" mark
on the engine oil level gauge.
• If the engine is equipped with a service hour
meter, note the reading. Perform the maintenance
that is in the Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Maintenance Interval Schedule".
• Fill the fuel tank, to help prevent accumulation of
moisture in the fuel. Do not overfill the fuel tank.
NOTICE
Only use antifreeze/coolant mixtures recommended
in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill
Capacities and Recommendations" topic or in this
Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid Recom-
mendations" topic. Failure to do so can cause engine
damage.
Pressurized System: Hot coolant can cause seri-
ous burns. To open the cooling system filler cap,
stop the engine and wait until the cooling system
components are cool. Loosen the cooling system
pressure cap slowly in order to relieve the
pressure.
• Allow the engine to cool. Check the coolant level.
• Check the coolant for correct antifreeze protection
and the correct corrosion protection. Add the
correct coolant/water mixture, if necessary.
• Perform all required periodic maintenance on all
driven equipment. This maintenance is outlined in
the instructions from the OEM.
