NOTICE
Contaminated inlet air
When it is defective, clogged, or contaminated, the air filter can
damage the engine.
■
Inspect all lines, flexible tubes and the casing of the air filter for
tightness and integrity on a regular basis (at least once per year).
■
Immediately replace any damaged part. Further operation is
inadmissible.
■
Check the operating readiness of the air filter on a regular basis.
■
Regularly clean the air filter casing.
■
Do not clean but always replace the air filter cartridge and the
safety cartridge.
■
Never run the diesel engine without an air filter cartridge and a
safety cartridge in the air filter.
NOTE
The fuel system must be bled after all work on an open fuel
system or if the fuel tank has been run empty.
Check the fuel system for leaks with a trial run!
NOTE
Adhere to running-in regulations, servicing intervals and care
measures for diesel engine as specified in the instruction
manual of the engine manufacturer.
4.03.01 Lubricating oil change intervals
These intervals depend, e.g., on:
■
Lubricating oil quality
■
Fuel sulphur content
■
The mode in which the diesel engine is used
Change lubricating oil after half the interval indicated, e.g., when at least
one of the following conditions is true:
■
Continuous ambient temperature below –10 °C (14 °F) or lubricating
oil temperature below 60 °C (140 °F)
■
Operation using biodiesel fuel
NOTE
Change the lubricating oil at least once per year if the
lubricating oil change intervals are not reached before the year
ends.
4.03.02 Engine oil change for parked regeneration
Each park regeneration slightly dilutes the engine oil with fuel. The
number and total duration of the park regenerations is therefore
monitored by the engine control unit. If the number or total duration of the
park regenerations exceeds a specified value, an additional oil change is
required. This is shown on the info display.
However, under normal engine operating conditions, the number of
park regenerations and the associated total time of park regenerations
within the change lubricating oil interval (500 h) does not lead to a critical
dilution of the lubricating oil. No additional oil change is required.
The following applies to every oil change:
