Maintenance
WARNING
Risk of burns. Contents under pressure.
Do not remove the radiator pressure cap
while engine is hot. Doing so could result
in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Risk of burns. Do not open coolant system
until engine has completely cooled. Doing so
could result in serious injury.
CAUTION
Risk of overheating. Do not use any chromate base
rust inhibitor with propylene glycol base antifreeze,
boosters, or additives. Doing so will cause overheating
and possible equipment damage.
CAUTION
Personal injury. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment at all times while operating and servicing
unit. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
Coolant must be changed every year or at 1,000 hours of
operation. Check coolant level and degree of fouling
according to the steps below. Correct coolant level is
approximately 0.39 in (10 mm) below the radiator core
top. Wear proper PPE when handling Long Life Coolant.
1. Verify engine is stopped and cooled.
2. See
4-1. Verify coolant drain plug (A) is

Maintenance Schedule
Periodic inspection, service, and maintenance of this unit
is critical to ensuring reliable operation. The following is
the manufacturer's recommended maintenance sched-
ule. The maintenance items need to be performed more
frequently if the unit is used in severe applications (such
as very high or very low ambient conditions or extremely
dirty or dusty environments). Use the unit hour meter or
A
calendar time, whichever occurs first, from the previous
maintenance interval to determine next required mainte-
nance interval.
NOTE: Some checks are based on hours of operation.
Follow all applicable safety alerts in this manual or the
engine service manual before performing any mainte-
nance checks or service.

This maintenance schedule reflects the minimum tasks
needed to verify the unit remains operational. Some of
the tasks can be performed by an authorized operator,
and others must be performed by a GMASD.
NOTE: An authorized operator is one who has been
trained by a GMASD in correct operation and inspection
of this unit.
