Def Filler Screen - Clean - Perkins 1204F-E44TA Operation And Maintenance Manual

SEBU9063-07
NOTICE
When any servicing or repair of the engine cooling
system is performed, the procedure must be per-
formed with the engine on level ground. This proce-
dure will allow you to check accurately the coolant
level. This procedure will also help in avoiding the risk
of introducing an air lock into the coolant system.
1. Remove the cooling system filler cap slowly in
order to relieve pressure.
2. Maintain the coolant level at the maximum mark
that is correct for your application. If the engine is
equipped with a sight glass, maintain the coolant
level to the correct level in the sight glass.

3. Clean the cooling system filler cap and check the
condition of the filler cap gaskets. Replace the
cooling system filler cap if the filler cap gaskets are
damaged. Reinstall the cooling system filler cap.
4. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Note: The Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank requires
coolant flow around the tank. The Coolant Diverter
Valve (CDV) will turn the flow on or off. If the coolant
system has been filled with the CDV in the closed
position, coolant level will drop because of the
opening of the CDV. The coolant flow will be diverted
when the ambient temperature is approximately
−5° C (23° F).
