ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SERVICING TIRES Failure to implement proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion which may result in serious injury or death. CAUTION: Never attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to per- form the job.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CLEAN ENGINE AREA CAUTION: Never clean engine with engine running. A combination of dirt, oil, wood dust and chip material in the engine area presents a risk of fire. Clean engine and drum area daily by blowing debris out from around power unit with com- pressed air.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FUEL SPECIFICATIONS No. 2D diesel fuel is recommended for use in all diesel power units. In extreme cold tem- peratures see engine mfg for recommended fuel options. In selecting a fuel, note that distillate fuels are especially desirable because the fuel is heated to vaporous state and condensed, thus elimi- nating all sediment and residue.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE RADIATOR WARNING: Never open cap on a hot radiator. Check coolant level only, when engine is stopped and radiator cap is cool enough to touch with your hand. Prior to cold weather, be sure cooling system has a proper amount of antifreeze. Use a quality brand of permanent-type ethylene glycol antifreeze which contains a rust inhibitor and lubricant.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BATTERIES The batteries are located on the side of the frame. Two 12 volt-batteries are connected in series to furnish 24 volts. All models are equipped with two 12 volt 8D low maintenance batteries. SERVICING BATTERIES 1. Keep battery and battery box clean. Keep all connections clean and tight.

ENGINE CORROSION CAVITATION CORROSION/EROSION LINER PITTING Modern high speed diesel engines contain cast iron replacement cylinder liners that are subject to accelerated corrosion due to a process commonly known as liner pitting. When plain water is used as a coolant, liners can be penetrated in a matter of 500 hours of operation when conditions are severe. It is important to understand the causes of this liner pitting and how to prevent it.
ENGINE CORROSION THE EFFECT OF ENGINE CONDITIONS ON LINER PITTING The formation of bubbles in coolant during cavitation corrosion/erosion is very similar to the way bubbles are formed when boiling water. Remember how water in a pressure cooker boils at a higher temperature because of the higher pressure? In the same way, anything that affects the local pressure or the local temperature around the liners will impact on the ease with which bubbles are formed and will effect the potential for liner pitting.
Page 70
ENGINE CORROSION The problem only gets worse in construction/mining fleets where cooling system capacities can vary from 5 to over 100 gallons. Coolant leakage can really cause a problem when using automotive antifreeze plus SCA. Typically the system is topped off with antifreeze and water and no thought is given to the SCA concentration.
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE NOTE: Its the customer's responsibility to follow all steps of air filter maintenance every 200 hours or every engine oil change. Low pre-cleaner efficiency will cause short element life. Low pre-cleaning efficiency can be caused by: 1. Leaking dust cup to air cleaner body joint;...
