Hoses; When To Service The Dry Type Air Cleaner - Detroit Diesel Series 60 Operator's Manual

NOTICE:
If the engine overheats and
the coolant level is satisfactory,
the cooling system may require
cleaning with a descaling solvent
and backflushing. Authorized
Detroit Diesel service outlets are
properly equipped to perform these
services.
In addition to the cleaning procedure,
other components of the cooling
system should be checked periodically
to keep the engine operating at peak
efficiency.

Hoses

Cooling system hoses should be
inspected and any hose that shows
obvious signs of damage or feels
abnormally soft or hard should be
replaced. Damaged clamps should
also be replaced. All external leaks
should be corrected as soon as
detected.
NOTE:
If Detroit Diesel Power Cool
antifreeze/coolant (or equivalent fully
formulated, precharged antifreeze
is used, a precharge element is not
required. Coolant inhibitor levels
must be checked at the intervals
listed in Table 25.

When to Service the Dry
Type Air Cleaner
Replace dry type air cleaner elements
when the maximum allowable air
cleaner restriction (20 inches of
water or 5.0 kPa) has been reached
or annually, whichever comes first.
Some air cleaners are equipped with
a restriction indicator which aids in
determining the servicing interval.
Cleaning and/or reusing dry paper
type air cleaner elements is not
recommended unless the cleaning
method used removes clogging
without damaging the element.
Inspection and cleaning of elements
must be done in accordance with
the air cleaner manufacturer's
recommendations, if any.
