VENT1 LATlO
N
Good ventilation is needed to cool the engine and to
support combustion. Avoid recirculation of ventilat-
ing
air.
HOURS
OF
OPERATION
Inhalation
of
exhaust gases might
result in serious personal injury or
death.
Do
not use exhaust heat to warm a room,,
compartment or storage area.
MAINTENANCE TASK
EXHAUST
Pipe exhaust gas outside any enclosure: exhaust gas
is poisonous. Exhaust pipes must not terminate near
inlet vents. Avoid sharp bends. Use sweeping, large-
radius elbows. Use a section of seamless, flexible
tubing between the engine and any rigid pipe to res-
trict vibration.

BATTERIES
Check the condition of the starting batteries at least
every two weeks. See that connections are clean and
tight. A light coating of non-conductive grease will
retard corrosion at terminals. Keep the electrolyte at
the proper level above the plates by adding distilled
water. Check specific gravity; recharge if below
1.260.

DUST AND DIRT
1. Keep inlet screen free
of
dirt, etc.
2. Service air cleaner as frequently as necessary.
3. Change crankcase oil every
50
operating hours.
4.
Keep oil and fuel in dust-tight containers.
5.
Keep governor linkage clean.
HIGH ALTITUDE
Maximum power will be reduced approximately
4
percent for each 1000 feet (310 m) above sea level,
after the first 1000 feet (310 m).
LOW TEMPERATURES
1.
Use correct
SAE
No.
oil for temperature condi-
tions. Change oil only when engine is warm. If an
unexpected temperature drop causes an emer-
gency, move engine to a warm location or apply
heated air (never use open flame) externally
until
oil flows freely.
2. Use fresh fuel. Protect against moisture conden-
sation.
3.
Keep fuel system clean, and batteries
in
a well
charged condition.
4.
Use additional preheat cycles during cold starts.
Do
not exceed one minute preheat
periods; longer periods can burn
out the heater elements.

1.
Water or foreign material in fuel can ruin the injection
system.
If
daily inspection shows water or excessive
dirt in sediment bowl fuel, handling and storing facili-
ties should be checked and situation corrected. Prim-
ary and secondary fuel filters must be replaced follow-
ing correction of fuel contamination problem.
2.
This service must be conducted by trained diesel injec-
tion equipment personnel with suitable test facilities.
Omit this service until these conditions can be met.
3.
Tighten head bolts and adjust valve clearance after first
50
hours on an overhauled engine.
