Engine, source of power
The engine is a water-cooled, four-stroke
Common rail diesel. For a more detailed
description of the engine, see the engine
manual.
Power is transmitted from the rear of the
engine to the working hydraulics and traction
transmission pumps. The front of the engine
houses belt drives for the fan and the alterna-
tor generators and the AC compressor.
Suction air filter (fig. 18)
The engine suction air is cleaned by prefilter
and two-part paper filter B. A warning text and
symbol in the Iqan display indicate a blockage
in the filtering system. See cleaning instruc-
tions under service and maintenance. The
prefilter A is inside the filter cartridge and it
is continually drained by means of an exhaust
fume ejector.
Fill the tank with fuel
free from impurities (fig. 19)
The volume of the fuel tank is 135 litres. Use
high-quality diesel oil as fuel. Check the fuel
requirements in the engine manual. The fuel
must be free from any impurities and water.
Before refuelling, remove all impurities from
around filler A. Never drain a spare tank into
the fuel tank, as impurities and water tend
to settle on the bottom. If fuel is added from
a spare tank, a funnel with a sieve must be
used.
There are air bleeds on the outer rim of the
filler through which air gets into the tank. Make
sure these bleeds stay unblocked. Never use
a filler without air bleeds. cooler course mesh
filter there is a small-holed screen. To clean it,
first turn the rear cog to its down position and
then lift up the screen.
