Operation Section
After Stopping Engine
• Before you check the engine oil, do not operate
the engine. Wait for at least 10 minutes after the
engine has stopped in order to allow the engine oil
to return to the oil pan. 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, in order to help prevent
accumulation of moisture in the fuel. Do not overfill
the fuel tank.
• Fill the DEF tank, a low level of DEF in the tank
can result in engine de-rate.
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.
