If you have a Caterpillar
diesel engine, you may
have this feature.
The ether cylinder is
located in the engine
compartment on the
driver's side of the
vehicle.
To change an empty ether cylinder, follow
these steps.
1. Loosen the screw head on the
®
cylinder-to-bracket clamp.
2. Spread the clamp apart.
3. Clean any dirt from the neck of the cylinder
and the top of the valve before you take out
the cylinder.
4. Check the inside of the valve for any foreign
matter. Clean the valve as necessary.
5. Cover the valve to protect it from dirt and take
out the cylinder.
6. Install a new gasket whenever you take out
the cylinder. Use only one gasket and spread
a light film of clean oil on it before installation.
7. Put in the new cylinder. Turn it clockwise until
it just starts to contact the gasket.
8. Tighten the cylinder another half turn
(180 degrees). Don't over-tighten.
9. Retighten the cylinder clamp.
