Check Coolant Level
1. Check the coolant level with the engine stopped and cool.2. The filler cap covers the fill pipe. Remove the filler cap slowly to relieve any pressure.3. Maintain the coolant level within 13 mm (1/2 inch) below the bottom of the fill pipe or to the proper level on the sight glass (if equipped).
Typical filler cap gaskets.4. Inspect the filler cap. Replace the cap if gaskets are damaged. Install the filler cap.Air Cleaner
Check Service Indicator
Typical service indicator, mounted on the air cleaner housing. Your engine may be equipped with a different indicator.A service indicator (if equipped) may be mounted on the air cleaner or in a remote location. A colored piston showing in the window indicates the need for servicing the air cleaner.
Typical service indicator.Observe the air cleaner service indicator. Clean or replace the air cleaner element when the yellow diaphragm enters the red zone or the red piston locks in the visible position. If the air cleaner indicator shows red at any time, clean the filter element or install a new air cleaner element.Test Service Indicator
Air cleaner service indicators are inexpensive but important instruments.* Check for ease of resetting. The indicator should reset in less than three pushes.* Check the movement of the yellow core when the engine is accelerated to rated speed. The yellow core should latch approximately at the greatest vacuum that is attained.If the indicator does not reset easily, or if the yellow core does not latch at the greatest vacuum, the indicator should be replaced. If the new indicator will not reset, the indicator sensor hole may be plugged.Severely dusty environments may require frequent indicator replacements. Replace the indicator yearly, regardless of operating conditions. Replace the indicator at Overhaul, and whenever major engine components are replaced. When you install a new indicator, excessive force may crack the top of the indicator. Tighten the indicator to a torque of 2 N m (18 lb in).Service Air Cleaner
Never service the air cleaner with the engine running since this will allow dirt to enter the engine.
If your air cleaner element becomes plugged, the air can split the element filter material. Unfiltered air will drastically accelerate internal engine wear. Your Caterpillar dealer has air filter elements to service this unit. Contact your Caterpillar dealer for the correct filter element.Single Element Air Cleaner
1. Remove the air cleaner cover (1) and element (2).2. Seal the turbocharger air inlet (3) so that debris can not enter the inlet. Use tape, or secure a clean cloth over the opening.3. Clean the inside of the air cleaner cover and body.4. Inspect the replacement element for damage, dirt or debris.5. Remove the seal from the turbocharger inlet.6. Install a clean, undamaged element.7. Install the air cleaner cover.8. Reset the service indicator.Cleaning Air Filter Elements
The primary element (Caterpillar air filters) can be cleaned several times before replacement. The element, when cleaned, should be thoroughly checked for rips or tears in the filter material. Replace the primary element at least Every Year regardless
