SIDECUTTER GP 3572698 - Caterpillar

All water is corrosive at engine operating temperature. Use either Caterpillar Cooling System Conditioner liquid, or the attachment coolant conditioner group to treat either plain water or ethylene glycol (antifreeze) solution. NEVER use both the liquid cooling system conditioner and the coolant conditioner element at the same time.
When changing antifreeze solution, replace the attachment coolant conditioner group maintenance filter element with the appropriate precharge filter element, Part Number 9N2366. Do not use Caterpillar Cooling System Conditioner or Coolant Conditioner Elements with Dowtherm 209 Full-Fill coolant.
If the truck is to be used or stored in an area with below freezing temperatures, the cooling system must be protected to the lowest expected ambient temperature. Never add coolant to an overhead engine; allow the engine to cool first.
1. Loosen the radiator cap slowly to release the pressure. Remove the radiator cap. 2. Remove the cooling system drain plug, and allow the coolant to drain.
Use all cleaning solutions with care.
Most commercial cooling system cleaners may be used. The best cleaner is chelate type alkaline cleaners.3. Install the drain plug. Fill the system with cleaning solution.(1)4. Start and run engine for 1/2 hour. Stop the engine and drain cleaning solution.5. Flush the system with clean water until the draining water is clean. Do not run the engine while flushing.6. Install the drain plugs. Fill the system with neutralizing solution.(2)7. Start and run the engine for 10 minutes. Stop the engine and drain neutralizing solution.8. Flush the system with clean water, until the draining water is clean. Do not run the engine while flushing.9. Install the drain plug.10. Add the correct amount of Caterpillar Cooling System Conditioner, or equivalent, so that the cooling system will have a 3% concentration. Add 1 pint (.50 liters) for each 4 gal. (15.14 liter) of coolant.11. To help avoid air locks, add coolant slowly, at 5 U.S. gallons (19 liters) per minute or less.12. Add antifreeze solution. See REFILL CAPACITIES.13. Start and run the engine with the radiator cap removed. Allow coolant to warm and level to stabilize.14. Add coolant, if necessary, to bring the coolant level to the bottom of the fill pipe.15. Observe condition of the radiator cap gasket. Replace if it is damaged.(1)2 lb. Sodium Bisulfate (NaHSO4 per 10 U.S. gallons (1 kilogram per 10 liters) water.(2)1/2 lb. Sodium Carbonate Crystals (Na2CO3 10 H2O) per 10 U.S. gallons (250 grams per 40 liters) water.(20)Batteries
1. Loosen and remove cable clamps from all battery terminals.2. Clean all cable clamps.3. Clean all battery terminals.4. Install the cable clamps on the battery terminals. Make sure they are secure.5. Apply a light coat of grease on the battery connections.(21)Starting Aids-Checking Glow Plugs
1. Disconnect the wire lead from the glow plug terminal on the HEAT-START switch.2. Install an ammeter with a capacity of over 75 amps, in a series, between the disconnected lead and the terminal on the HEAT-START switch.3. Turn HEAT-START switch to HEAT.4. Observe the ammeter. Each 12 volt glow plug draws approximately 12.5 amperes. The ampere draw of
