V-BELT SET 4N8771 - Caterpillar

Clean the cooling system and flush the cooling system before the recommended maintenance interval if the following conditions exist:
The engine overheats frequently.
Foaming is observed.
The oil has entered the cooling system and the coolant is contaminated.
The fuel has entered the cooling system and the coolant is contaminated.
Use of commercially available cooling system cleaners may cause damage to cooling system components. Use only cooling system cleaners that are approved for Caterpillar engines.
Note: Inspect the water pump and the water temperature regulator after the cooling system has been drained. This is a good opportunity to replace the water pump, the water temperature regulator and the hoses, if necessary. Drain
Pressurized System: Hot coolant can cause serious burns. To open the cooling system filler cap, stop the engine and wait until the cooling system components are cool. Loosen the cooling system pressure cap slowly in order to relieve the pressure.

(1) Aftercooler drain plug. (2) Oil cooler drain plug. (3) Drain Plug for the water temperature regulator.
Open the cooling system drain valve (if equipped). If the cooling system is not equipped with a drain valve, remove the cooling system drain plugs. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the water cooled exhaust manifold. Remove the drain plug for the water temperature regulator (3), aftercooler drain plug (1) and oil cooler drain plug (2). Allow the coolant to drain.
Dispose of used engine coolant properly or recycle. Various methods have been proposed to reclaim used coolant for reuse in engine cooling systems. The full distillation procedure is the only method acceptable by Caterpillar to reclaim the used coolant.
For information regarding the disposal and the recycling of used coolant, consult your Caterpillar dealer or consult Caterpillar Service Technology Group:Outside Illinois 1-800-542-8665

Flush
Flush the cooling system with clean water in order to remove any debris.
Close the drain valve (if equipped). Clean the drain plugs. Install the drain plugs. Refer to the Specifications, SENR3130, "Torque Specifications" for more information on the proper torques.
Fill the cooling system with a mixture of clean water and Caterpillar Fast Acting Cooling System Cleaner. Add .5 L (1 pint) of cleaner per 15 L (4 US gal) of the cooling system capacity. Install the cooling system filler cap.
Start and run the engine at low idle for a minimum of 30 minutes with a coolant temperature of at least 82°C (180°F).
Improper or incomplete rinsing of the cooling system can result in damage to copper and other metal components.To avoid damage to the cooling system, make sure to completely flush the cooling system with clear water. Continue to flush the system until all signs of the cleaning agent are gone.
Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool. Loosen the cooling system filler cap slowly in order to relieve any pressure. Remove the cooling system filler cap. Open the drain valve
