ENGINE MAINTENANCE

4. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto the

radiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly

with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap

adapter.

5. Insert the refill hose into the coolant mixture container that is

placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the closed

position.

• Use specified coolant or equivalent.

Refer to

MA-21, "FOR NORTH AMERICA : Fluids and Lubri-

cants"

(United States and Canada),

MA-22, "FOR MEXICO :

Fluids and Lubricants"

(Mexico).

6. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly, the air pressure must

be within specification.

CAUTION:

The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air dryer.

7. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open

the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Coolant will be visible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill hose is

full of coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose.

8. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches

of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude

locations, Refer to the following table for expected vacuum read-

ing.

9. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds

to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the

system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to bring the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks.

10. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose inserted) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then

open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling

system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero.

CAUTION:

Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into

the cooling system.

11. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening and install the radiator cap.
12. Remove the non-vented reservoir cap.
13. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specified level. Run the engine to warm up the cooling system

and top up the system as necessary before installing the vented reservoir cap.

2. Fill the radiator and the reservoir tank (to the “MAX” line), with water. Reinstall the radiator cap and leave

the vented reservoir cap off.

3. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
4. Press the engine accelerator two or three times under no-load.
5. Stop the engine and wait until it cools down.
6. Drain the water from the engine cooling system. Refer to

MA-26, "Changing Engine Coolant"

7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 until clear water begins to drain from the radiator.

Checking Fuel Line

INFOID:0000000006158424

Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-

ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-

ration.

If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.

Changing Fuel Filter

INFOID:0000000006158425

The fuel filter is part of the fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly. Refer to

FL-11

WARNING:

Before replacing the fuel filter, release the fuel pressure from the fuel system. Refer to

Changing Engine Oil

INFOID:0000000006158427

WARNING:

• Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.

• Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may

cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact with used

engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap

or hand cleaner as soon as possible.

1. Remove engine under cover or skid plate. Refer to

EXT-15,
