Belts - Inspect/Adjust/Replace
SMCS Code: 1357-025; 1357-040; 1357-510 Your engine can be equipped with a fan drive belt and with accessory drive belts. Your engine can also be equipped with an alternator belt. For maximum engine performance and maximum utilization of your engine, inspect the belts for wear and for cracking. Check the belt tension. Adjust the belt tension in order to minimize belt slippage. Belt slippage will decrease the belt life. Belt slippage will also cause poor performance of the alternator and of any driven equipment. If new belts are installed, recheck the belt adjustment after 30 minutes of operation. If two belts or more are required for an application, replace the belts in belt sets. If only one belt of a matched set is replaced, the new belt will carry more load. This is due to the fact that the older belts are stretched. The additional load on the new belt could cause the new belt to break.
Personal injury can result from battery fumes or explosion. Batteries give off ammable fumes that can explode. Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal injury if it contacts the skin or eyes. Prevent sparks near the batteries. Sparks could cause vapors to explode. Do not allow jumper cable ends to contact each other or the engine. Improper jumper cable connections can cause an explosion. Always wear protective glasses when working with batteries. 1. Turn the engine start switch key to the OFF position. Turn all of the switches to the OFF position.

3. To check the belt tension, apply 110 N (25 lb) of force midway between the pulleys. Correctly adjusted belts will deect 14 to 20 mm (1/2 to 3/4 inch). 4. In order to adjust the alternator belt, loosen the alternator adjusting bracket bolt and the mounting bracket bolt. 5. To achieve the correct belt tension, move the alternator inward or move the alternator outward, as required. 6. If necessary, use a pry bar to bear against the alternator bracket. 7. Tighten the mounting bracket bolt and the alternator adjusting bracket bolt. 8. If new belts are installed, check the belt adjustment again after 30 minutes of engine operation at the rated speed. 9. Check the position of the fan shroud. Adjust the position of the fan shroud so that the fan will not rub against the shroud. Maintain a 9.4 mm (0.38 inch) clearance between the fan and the shroud.

NOTICE Mixing Extended Life Coolant (ELC) with other products reduces the effectiveness of the coolant and shortens coolant life. Use only Caterpillar products or commercial products that have passed the Caterpillar EC-1 specications for premixed or concentrate coolants. Use only Caterpillar Extender with Caterpillar ELC. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in the damage to cooling systems components. If ELC cooling system contamination occurs, refer to Operation and Maintenance, Extended Life Coolant (ELC) under the topic ELC Cooling System Contamination. 15. Add the coolant solution. See the following topics:
Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steam and alkali. At operating temperature, engine coolant is hot and under pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine contain hot coolant or steam. Any contact can cause severe burns. Remove cooling system pressure cap slowly to relieve pressure only when engine is stopped and cooling system pressure cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand. Do not attempt to tighten hose connections when the coolant is hot, the hose can come off causing burns. Cooling System Coolant Additive contains alkali. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. 3. Slowly loosen radiator cap (1) and remove radiator cap (1). 4. Remove the cap for expansion tank (3). NOTICE Care must be taken to ensure that uids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the uid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing uids. Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, Caterpillar Tools and Shop Products Guide for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain uids on Caterpillar products.

Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes to prevent personal injury. When a Caterpillar Extended Life Coolant (ELC) is used, an Extender must be added to the cooling system. Use a 8T-5296 Coolant Test Kit to check the concentration of the coolant. Refer to the Special Publication, SEBU6250, Caterpillar Machines Fluids Recommendations, Cooling System Specications for more information about the addition of Extender.

If the piston remains in the red zone replace the secondary element.
KEBU7534-03
Pressurized Air
Pressurized air can be used to clean primary air lter elements that have not been cleaned more than two times. Pressurized air will not remove deposits of carbon and oil. Use ltered, dry air with a maximum pressure of 207 kPa (30 psi).
Illustration 78
g00281692
Note: When the primary air lter elements are cleaned, always begin with the clean side (inside) in order to force dirt particles toward the dirty side (outside). Aim the hose so that the air ows inside the element along the length of the lter in order to help prevent damage to the paper pleats. Do not aim the stream of air directly at the primary air lter element. Dirt could be forced further into the pleats.
Vacuum Cleaning
Vacuum cleaning is another method for cleaning primary air lter elements which require daily cleaning because of a dry, dusty environment. Cleaning with pressurized air is recommended prior to vacuum cleaning. Vacuum cleaning will not remove deposits of carbon and oil.
KEBU7534-03
Do not use paint, a waterproof cover, or plastic as a protective covering for storage. An airow restriction may result. To protect against dirt and damage, wrap the primary air lter elements in Volatile Corrosion Inhibited (VCI) paper. Place the primary air lter element into a box for storage. For identication, mark the outside of the box and mark the primary air lter element. Include the following information:
Inspect the clean, dry primary air lter element. Use a 60 watt blue light in a dark room or in a similar facility. Place the blue light in the primary air lter element. Rotate the primary air lter element. Inspect the primary air lter element for tears and/or holes. Inspect the primary air lter element for light that may show through the lter material. If it is necessary in order to conrm the result, compare the primary air lter element to a new primary air lter element that has the same part number. Do not use a primary air lter element that has any tears and/or holes in the lter material. Do not use a primary air lter element with damaged pleats, gaskets or seals. Discard damaged primary air lter elements.

Note: Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, Lubricant Viscosities for more information on the correct grade of engine oil to use. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, Capacities (Rell) for the correct amount of oil that is used when the oil is changed. The correct amount of oil determines the correct level of the oil in the FULL range on the dipstick. NOTICE Do not overll the crankcase. The oil level must not reach the top of the FULL range mark or above the FULL range mark. 3. Maintain the oil level on the dipstick between the FULL RANGE mark and the ADD OIL mark . Add oil if the oil level is too low. Note: Operating your engine with the oil level above the FULL mark in the FULL Range could cause the crankshaft to dip into the oil. This could result in excessively high operating temperatures. The high operating temperatures could result in reduced lubricating characteristics of the oil. This could cause damage to the bearings and loss of engine power. 4. If the oil level is correct, close the engine compartment.

Use a lter cutter to cut the lter element open. Spread apart the pleats and inspect the element for metal and for other debris. An excessive amount of debris in the lter element can indicate a possible failure. If metals are found in the lter element, a magnet can be used to differentiate between ferrous metals and nonferrous metals. Ferrous metals can indicate wear on steel parts and on cast iron parts. Nonferrous metals can indicate wear on the aluminum parts of the engine such as main bearings, rod bearings, or turbocharger bearings. Small amounts of debris may be found in the lter element. This could be caused by friction and by normal wear. Consult your Caterpillar dealer in order to arrange for further analysis if an excessive amount of debris is found. Using an oil lter element that is not recommended by Caterpillar can result in severe engine damage to engine bearings, to the crankshaft, and to other parts. This can result in larger particles in unltered oil. The particles could enter the lubricating system and the particles could cause damage.
