Direct injection diesel
Fuel Injection:
Mechanical injection pump with injectors
Governor:
Mechanical governor integrated with the injection pump
Overall Length:
N/A - varies by model and accessory fitment
Overall Width:
N/A - varies by model and accessory fitment
Overall Height:
N/A - varies by model and accessory fitment
Dry Weight:
N/A - varies by model configuration; refer to the model specification sheet
Personal Protection:
Disconnect the battery and allow the engine to cool before work; use eye protection and gloves when handling fuel and cleaning solvents
Lifting:
Use rated lifting equipment on the specified engine lifting points only
Fuel System Safety:
Diesel fuel is flammable and injection lines are under extreme pressure; never crack a high-pressure line while the engine is running
Relief Valve:
Engine oil and cooling systems include pressure relief components; follow the manual before opening any pressurized circuit
Fuel Delivery:
Mechanical injection pump with precision-matched injectors
Starting Aid:
Glow plug or intake preheat system depending on model
Cooling:
Water pump, thermostat and radiator circuit with belt-driven fan
Filtration:
Replaceable cartridge air, fuel and oil filters
Monitoring:
Oil pressure, coolant temperature and charging warning instrumentation as fitted to the machine
Daily:
Check engine oil level, coolant level and inspect for leaks
First 50 Hours:
Initial oil and filter change on a new or overhauled engine
Every 100 Hours:
Change engine oil and inspect the air cleaner element
Every 200 Hours:
Replace engine oil filter and fuel filter
Every 500 Hours:
Inspect cooling system and adjust valve clearance as required
Engine Oil:
Use diesel engine oil of the grade and viscosity specified for the ambient temperature range in the manual
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol antifreeze mixed to the concentration specified for the climate
Fuel:
Clean, water-free diesel fuel; bleed the system after any filter change
Wear Parts:
Piston rings, cylinder liners, valve guides, valve seats, injection nozzles and water pump seal
Known Issues:
Hard starting, exhaust smoke and low power are commonly traced to fuel delivery, compression or injection timing; use the troubleshooting charts in the manual
