Possible Cause RemedyTrouble
Excessive engine
temperature
(continued)
• Heat exchanger cores plugged

section
• Faulty thermostat
• Insufficient oil in crank-
case
• Clean.
• Check for leaks. Clean, test and inspect pres-
sure cap.
• Replace.
• Check and add correct grade and viscosity oil.

• Engine oil cooler hose kinked
(causing excessive oil temper-
ature and thinning of the oil)
• Low fluid level
• Transmission shift lever not posi-
tioned properly (causing clutches
to slip and overheat fluid)
• Fluid cooler hoses kinked
• Excessive current draw from bat-
tery
• Check and remove required amount of oil.
Check for cause of excessive oil (improper
filling, bad fuel pump, etc.).
• Change oil and oil filter, being sure to use
