Make repairs, as needed:
• The guards must be in the correct place. Repair damaged guards or replace missing guards and fixings.
• Wipe all caps and plugs before the engine is serviced to reduce the chance of system contamination.
For any type of leak (coolant, lube or fuel) clean up the fluid. If leaking is
suspected, check the fluid levels more often than recommended until the
leak is found or fixed, or until the suspicion of a leak is proved to be
unwarranted.
Accumulated grease and/or oil on an engine is a fire hazard. Remove the
accumulated grease and oil.
• Ensure that the cooling system hoses are correctly clamped and that the cooling system hoses are tight. Check for
leaks. Check the condition of all pipes.
• Inspect the water pump for coolant leaks.
Excessive coolant leakage may indicate the need to replace the water pump.
• Inspect the lubrication system for leaks at the front crankshaft seal, the rear crankshaft seal, the oil pan, the oil filters,
and the rocker cover.
• Inspect the piping for the air intake system and the elbows for cracks and for loose clamps.
• Ensure that hoses and tubes are not contacting other hoses, tubes, or the wiring harnesses.
• Ensure that the areas around the rotating parts are clear.
• Inspect the alternator/fan belt and air-conditioning compressor belt for cracks, or other damage.
Inspect the Engine for leaks and for loose connections.
Contact with high-pressure fuel may cause fluid penetration and burn
hazards. High-pressure fuel spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to
follow these inspection, maintenance and service instructions may cause
personal injury or death.
Ensure that all adjustments and repairs that are carried out to the fuel
system are performed by authorized personnel that have the correct
training.
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance
of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be
prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any
compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
After the engine has stopped, wait 10 minutes to allow the fuel pressure
to be purged from the high-pressure fuel lines before any service or repair
is performed.
The 10 minutes wait will also allow static charge to dissipate from the low-pressure fuel system. If necessary, perform
minor adjustments. Repair any leaks from the low-pressure fuel system and from the cooling, lubrication, or air systems.
Replace any high-pressure fuel line that has leaked.
