Fuel and fuel tanks
There are two plastic fuel tanks in the vehicle, hence there is no need to protect them from rust.
1. Open the each fuel tank drain plug and allow any water or dirt to drain. Then, reinstall the drain
plugs.
2. Add 0.15 ml/l (0.02 oz/US gal)of commercial biocide such as Biobor JF or and equivalent to
the fuel.
3. Seal all openings to the tanks to prevent evaporation of the fuel and preservative.
DEF/Adblue®
The
ideal storage temperature for DEF/Adblue® is between -9°C (+15°F) to +25°C (+77°F). Addition-
ally, DEF/AdBlue® should be protected from direct sunlight. Refer to ISO 22241-3 for further informa-
tion on DEF/AdBlue® handling, transportation and storage.
DEF/AdBlue® cleanliness is extremely important as contaminants can degrade the life of the DEF/
AdBlue® and system components.
For known storage conditions, refer to the ISO 22241 specification for storage duration guidance and
follow accordingly.
For unknown storage conditions, measure the in-tank DEF/AdBlue® concentration using a refractome-
ter (available from the Caterpillar service center).
1. If urea concentration is within the range of 29 % to 35 %, top off the tank with DEF/AdBlue®
meeting the ISO 22241 specification.
2. If the urea concentration is outside the range of 29 % to 35 %, top off the tank with DEF/AdBl-
ue® meeting the ISO 22241specification and recheck the urea concentration.
3. After step 2, if urea concentration remains outside the range of 29 %
to 35 %, drain the DEF/
AdBlue® from the tank and refill with DEF/AdBlue® meeting the ISO 22241 specification.
4. Ensure un normal shutdown. Allow Delayed Engine Shutdown, or properly cool the engine pri-
or to shutting down.
5. Ensure a proper DEF/AdBlue® purge. Do not disconnect the battery disconnect switch within
2 min
after removing the ignition key.
6. Fill the DEF tank with DEF/AdBlue® that meets all requirements defined in ISO 22241-1.
7. Ensure all DEF/AdBlue® lines and electrical connectors are connected prior to prevent crystal
from forming.
8. Ensure that the DEF/AdBlue® cap is properly installed.
Placing the engine back into service
1. Remove all outside protective covers, tags, tapes.
2. Check the condition of the hoses, belt, belt tensioner and bearings. Replace damaged or worn
components. Readjust the belt to the correct tension.
3. Use a bar (or turning tool) to turn the engine in the normal direction of rotation to ensure there
are no hydraulic locks or resistance.
4. Check and adjust all fluid levels, such as engine oil, coolant, and fuel.
5. Operate the fluid priming pump.
6. Remove the F86 fuse in the cab. Then, user the stater to turn the engine. When oil pressure
rises on the pressure gauge, reinstall the fuse and start the engine. Operate the engine for
10 min at low idle.
7. On the first day of operation, check the entire engine several times for leaks and correct opera-
tion.
