Use the correct Fleetguard coolant filter to maintain the
recommended SCA concentration in the system. Maintain
the correct concentration by changing the service coolant
filter at each oil drain interval. The coolant filter is located
next to the oil filter on the roadside of the engine. The oil
pressure gauge, temperature gauge, warning lamps and
other safety lamps should be checked daily to ensure prop-
er operations.
NOTE: The correct filter is determined by the
total cooling system capacity. If you have any
questions refer to the Cummins manual.
NOTE: The engine does not require a “break-
in” procedure.
Rotten, swollen and worn hoses, as well as loose connections, are
frequent causes of coolant system problems. Overheating can be caused by a
collapsed hose or a clog caused by rubber shedding from a rotten hose.
Replace any hose found to be cracked, swollen or damaged. Connections
should be inspected periodically and hose clamps tightened.
If the coolant system becomes frozen solid, place the motorhome in a
warm area until the ice is completely thawed. At this point the motorhome
must be towed. If the engine is operated when the cooling system is frozen it
will result in engine overheating due to insufficient coolant.
Once thawed, check engine, radiator and related components for damage
caused by expansion of frozen coolant.
If the engine is overheated, never pour cold coolant into a hot engine. The
sudden change in temperature may crack the cylinder head or block. If the
engine is hot, fill slowly to prevent rapid cooling and distortion of engine
castings.
Low sulfer #2 diesel fuel or #1 and #2 commercial winter blend diesel
fuels are the most common commercially available and recommended for
use. The Cummins Engine Company Inc. recommends the use ASTM #2D
fuel. The use of #2 diesel fuel will result in optimum engine performance.
WARNING: Do not mix gasohol with diesel fuel. This mixture
can cause an explosion.
