VALVE GP-ACCUMULATOR CHARGING 1177796 - Caterpillar

Attention should be given to the operations mentioned in this topic, every 10 service hours or daily, whichever occurs first.A daily check of the engine should be made to see if there are any loose nuts, bolts, or parts worn to such an extent that they are no longer serviceable. If corrective steps are taken immediately on discovery of loose or worn parts, fewer forced stops and more economical operation will result. Points to be checked daily, or every 10 service hours, are as follows:1. Exhaust and inlet manifold, turbocharger mounting bolts and air cleaner connections, inspect for tightness. The manifolds should be air tight.2. The turbocharger oil supply inlet tube should be checked to be sure oil leakage is not present.3. Check the operation of the turbocharger to see that no vibration or noise is present. The "muffled high pitch whine" is the normal sound of the turbocharger. If the turbocharger is defective, it will usually be noisy only under load.4. Cooling system, add coolant or anti-freeze if necessary. Be sure the filler cap seal is in good condition and that the cap is installed tightly.5. Fuel pressure gauge, inspect with engine running to see that indicator is not in red range.6. Diesel engine air cleaner cup, inspect for dirt in cleaner cup with the engine stopped.7. Fill the fuel tank at the end of the day's run. See the topic, CARE OF THE FUEL SUPPLY TANK for other periodic care.Dirt should not be allowed to accumulate on the engine. A few minutes spent daily in keeping it clean are well repaid in improved appearance, and greater ease and safety of operation, lubrication and maintenance.
