Alternator - Inspect
SMCS Code: 1405-040 Note: This engine is equipped with an alternator circuit breaker. Note the location of the alternator circuit breaker for your particular application. If the alternator circuit breaker trips, you will need to reset the breaker in order for the charging system to operate. Refer to the information that is provided by the OEM for more information. Caterpillar recommends a scheduled inspection of the alternator. Inspect the alternator for loose connections and proper battery charging. Inspect the ammeter (if equipped) during engine operation in order to ensure proper battery performance and/or proper performance of the electrical system. Make repairs, as required. Refer to the Service Manual. Check the alternator and the battery charger for proper operation. If the batteries are properly charged, the ammeter reading should be very near zero. All batteries should be kept charged. The batteries should be kept warm because temperature affects the cranking power. If the battery is too cold, the battery will not crank the engine. The battery will not crank the engine, even if the engine is warm. When the engine is not run for long periods of time or if the engine is run for short periods, the batteries may not fully charge. A battery with a low charge will freeze more easily than a battery with a full charge.

Belt - Inspect/Adjust/Replace
SMCS Code: 1357-039
Inspection
Belt tension should be checked initially between the first 20 to 40 hours of engine operation. After the initial check, the belt tension should be checked at Every 250 Service Hours or Three Months. To maximize the engine performance, inspect the belts for wear and for cracking. Replace belts that are worn or damaged. For applications that require multiple drive belts, replace the belts in matched sets. Replacing only one belt of a matched set will cause the new belt to carry more load because the older belt is stretched. The additional load on the new belt could cause the new belt to break. If the belts are too loose, vibration causes unnecessary wear on the belts and pulleys. Loose belts may slip enough to cause overheating. If the belts are too tight, unnecessary stresses are placed on the pulley bearings and on the belts. This may shorten the service life of the components. Remove the belt guard. Inspect the condition and adjustment of the alternator belts and accessory drive belts (if equipped). If the belts do not require replacement or adjustment, install the belt guard. If the belts require adjustment or replacement, perform the following procedure to adjust the belt tension.

NOTICE Do not use compressed air, open flame, or hot air to dry the air cleaner element. Excess heat shrinks cotton fiber, and compressed air may blow holes in the material. Allow the air cleaner element to air dry. 6. Shake excess water off the element, and allow the element to air dry. Drying the element in the sun speeds the process. NOTICE Do not use transmission fluid, engine oil, diesel fuel, or other lubricant to oil the air cleaner element. The air cleaner element can not function correctly if improper oil is used. Never operate an engine with a dry air cleaner element. The air cleaner element can not function correctly without oil. Always saturate the clean air cleaner element with the recommended oil. 7. The dry element should be oiled before installation. Apply small amounts of oil across the top of each pleat. Allow the oil to soak into the element for 20 minutes. Oil any remaining white spots. 8. Inspect the housing and the clamp for the element. Replace the housing and the clamp, if necessary. 9. Remove the seal from the air inlet opening. Install the clean, oiled element. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, Torque Specifications topic (Maintenance Section).
AIRSEP
NOTICE Never run the engine without an air cleaner element installed. Never run the engine with a damaged air cleaner element. Do not use air cleaner elements with damaged pleats, gaskets or seals. Dirt entering the engine causes premature wear and damage to engine components. Air cleaner elements help to prevent airborne debris from entering the air inlet. NOTICE Never service the air cleaner element with the engine running since this will allow dirt to enter the engine. Note: Use the 102-9720 Cleaning Kit. This product contains the detergent and oil that is made specifically for the maintenance of the AIRSEP elements. 1. Remove the vacuum limiter element and the AIRSEP element. 2. Cover the air inlet opening with a clean cloth, or seal with tape in order to prevent dirt and debris from entering the engine. 3. Tap the element in order to dislodge dirt particles. Gently brush the element with a soft bristle brush. NOTICE Do not use gasoline, steam, caustic or unapproved detergents, or parts cleaning solvents. Do not use high pressure water or air to clean the air cleaner element. Any of those liquids or methods can cause air cleaner element damage. 4. Spray the element with the cleaning solution. Allow the element to stand for 20 minutes. 5. Rinse the element with low water pressure. The maximum water pressure for this procedure is 275 kPa (40 psi). Tap water is acceptable. Start to rinse the element from the clean side (inside). Next, clean the dirty side (outside) in order to flush out dirt. Inspect the element for tears and/or holes after the element is cleaned. Do not reuse damaged elements.
4. Clean the element and inspect the element. Replace the element, if necessary. Refer to Cleaning Paper Air Cleaner Elements. 5. Remove the seal from the air inlet opening. Install an element that is new or cleaned.
Note: Refer to Drying the Paper Air Cleaner Elements. Refer to Inspecting the Paper Air Cleaner Elements. Pressurized Air Pressurized air can be used to clean elements that have not been cleaned more than two times. Pressurized air will not remove deposits of carbon and oil. Use filtered, dry air with a maximum pressure of 207 kPa (30 psi).
Illustration 20
g00281692
Visually inspect the element before cleaning. Inspect the element for damage to the seal, the gaskets, and the outer cover. Discard any damaged elements. There are four common methods that are used to clean elements:
Note: When the paper air cleaner 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 flows inside the element along the length of the filter in order to help prevent damage to the paper pleats. Do not aim the stream of air directly at the element. Dirt could be forced further into the pleats. Note: Refer to Inspecting the Paper Air Cleaner Elements. Vacuum Cleaning Vacuum cleaning is a good method for cleaning paper air cleaner 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. Note: Refer to Inspecting the Paper Air Cleaner Elements.
Pressurized water Pressurized air Vacuum cleaning Washing with nonsudsing detergent
Pressurized Water Pressurized water will clean the element unless carbon and oil have accumulated on the surface of the element. The maximum water pressure for cleaning purposes must be below 275 kPa (40 psi). Do not use a spray nozzle. Note: When the element is 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 water flows inside the element along the length of the filter in order to help prevent damage to the paper pleats. Do not aim the stream of water directly at the element. Dirt could be forced further into the pleats.
Do not wash air cleaner elements in any flammable solution such as diesel fuel or gasoline. Doing so can cause fire or an engine runaway and can result in personal injury. Washing with nonsudsing detergent is effective for cleaning elements that have deposits of carbon or oil. Use a cleaning agent that is specifically manufactured for cleaning paper air cleaner elements. Cleaning with pressurized water, pressurized air, or vacuum cleaning is recommended prior to washing with nonsudsing detergent. 1. Place the element into a wash tank so that the gasket is up. The wash tank should be equipped with a rack so that the element does not sit on the bottom of the wash tank. Note: Caterpillar does not recommend a process for washing the element which includes vigorously shaking. By vigorously shaking the element, carbon particles may be distributed. 2. Fill the wash tank with the cleaning agent and warm water to a maximum temperature of 60 C (140 F). Follow the manufacturers recommendations for the cleaning agent. Allow the element to soak for six hours. 3. Drain the wash tank. Do not use the cleaning agent more than one time. Remove the element from the wash tank. Rinse the element by performing the method for cleaning with pressurized water. Note: Refer to Drying the Paper Air Cleaner Elements. Refer to Inspecting the Paper Air Cleaner Elements.

NOTICE Perform this maintenance with the engine stopped. 1. Maintain the oil level between ADD mark (Y) and FULL mark (X) on oil level gauge (1). Do not fill the crankcase above FULL mark (X).
i00917087
NOTICE Engine damage can occur if the crankcase is filled above the FULL mark on the oil level gauge (dipstick). An overfull crankcase can enable the crankshaft to dip into the oil. This will reduce the power that is developed and also force air bubbles into the oil. These bubbles (foam) can cause the following problems: reduction of the oils ability to lubricate, reduction of oil pressure, inadequate cooling of the pistons, oil blowing out of the crankcase breathers, and excessive oil consumption. Excessive oil consumption will enable deposits to form on the pistons and in the combustion chamber. Deposits in the combustion chamber lead to the following problems: guttering of the valves, packing of carbon under the piston rings, and wear of the cylinder liner. If the oil level is above the FULL mark on the oil level gauge, drain some of the oil immediately. 2. Remove oil filler cap (2) and add oil, if necessary. Clean the oil filler cap. Reinstall the oil filler cap.

NOTICE Do not use the same vacuum sampling pump for extracting oil samples that is used for extracting coolant samples. A small residue of either type sample may remain in the pump and may cause a false positive analysis for the sample being taken. Always use a designated pump for oil sampling and a designated pump for coolant sampling. Failure to do so may cause a false analysis which could lead to customer and dealer concerns. If the engine is not equipped with a sampling valve, use the 1U-5718 Vacuum Pump. The pump is designed to accept sampling bottles. Disposable tubing must be attached to the pump for insertion into the sump. For instructions, see Special Publication, PEHP6001, How To Take A Good Oil Sample. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for complete information and assistance in establishing an SOS program for your engine.
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact the skin. Before taking the sample, complete the Label, PEEP5031 for identification of the sample. To help obtain the most accurate analysis, provide the following information:
Engine model Service hours on the engine The oils hours of use The amount of oil that has been added since the
last oil change To ensure that the sample is representative of the oil in the crankcase, obtain a warm, well mixed oil sample. To avoid contamination of the oil samples, the tools and the supplies that are used for obtaining oil samples must be clean. Caterpillar recommends using the sampling valve in order to obtain oil samples. The quality and the consistency of the samples are better when the sampling valve is used. The location of the sampling valve allows oil that is flowing under pressure to be obtained during normal engine operation. The 8T-9190 Fluid Sampling Bottle Group is recommended for use with the sampling valve. The bottle group includes the parts that are needed for obtaining oil samples. Instructions are also provided.

2. Cut the oil filter open with a 4C-5084 Oil Filter Cutter. Break apart the pleats and inspect the oil filter for metal debris. An excessive amount of metal debris in the oil filter may indicate early wear or a pending failure. Use a magnet to differentiate between the ferrous metals and the nonferrous metals that are found in the oil filter element. Ferrous metals may indicate wear on the steel and cast iron parts of the engine. Nonferrous metals may indicate wear on the aluminum parts, brass parts or bronze parts of the engine. Parts that may be affected include the following items: main bearings, rod bearings, turbocharger bearings, and cylinder heads. Due to normal wear and friction, it is not uncommon to find small amounts of debris in the oil filter. Consult your Caterpillar dealer in order to arrange for a further analysis if an excessive amount of debris is found in the oil filter.
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact the skin. Do not drain the oil when the engine is cold. As the oil cools, suspended waste particles settle on the bottom of the oil pan. The waste particles are not removed with the draining cold oil. Drain the crankcase with the engine stopped. Drain the crankcase with the oil warm. This draining method allows the waste particles that are suspended in the oil to be drained properly. Failure to follow this recommended procedure will cause the waste particles to be recirculated through the engine lubrication system with the new oil.

This will help prevent water or sediment from being pumped from the storage tank into the engine fuel tank. If a bulk storage tank has been refilled or moved recently, allow adequate time for the sediment to settle before filling the engine fuel tank. Internal baffles in the bulk storage tank will also help trap sediment. Filtering fuel that is pumped from the storage tank helps to ensure the quality of the fuel. When possible, water separators should be used.
Fuel Tank
Fuel quality is critical to the performance and to the service life of the engine. Water in the fuel can cause excessive fuel system wear. Condensation occurs during the heating and cooling of fuel. The condensation occurs as the fuel passes through the fuel system and the fuel returns to the fuel tank. This causes water to accumulate in fuel tanks. Draining the fuel tank regularly and obtaining fuel from reliable sources can help to eliminate water in the fuel.

Overhaul Considerations
SMCS Code: 7595-043 Reduced hours of operation at full load will result in a lower average power demand. A decreased average power demand should increase both the engine service life and the overhaul interval. The need for an overhaul is generally indicated by increased fuel consumption and by reduced power. The following factors are important when a decision is being made on the proper time for an engine overhaul:
Need for preventive maintenance Quality of the fuel that is being used Operating conditions Results of the SOS analysis
Overhaul Options
Before Failure Overhaul A planned overhaul before failure may be the best value for the following reasons:
Avoid costly unplanned downtime. Reuse many original parts according to the
standards for reusable parts.
Pistons Turbocharger Oil pump Fuel ratio control Cam followers Fuel Transfer pump Timing advance
If the parts comply with the established inspection specifications that are expressed in the reusable parts guideline, the parts should be reused. Parts that are not within the established inspection specifications should be salvaged, repaired, or replaced. Using out-of-spec parts can result in the following problems:
Specially designed Caterpillar engine features Caterpillar dealer exchange components Caterpillar Inc. remanufactured exchange
components
Unscheduled downtime Costly repairs Damage to other engine parts Reduced engine efficiency Increased fuel consumption
Reduced engine efficiency and increased fuel consumption translates into higher operating costs. Therefore, Caterpillar Inc. recommends repairing out-of-spec parts or replacing out-of-spec parts.
Overhaul Recommendation
To minimize downtime, Caterpillar Inc. recommends a scheduled engine overhaul by your Caterpillar dealer before the engine fails. This will provide you with the best cost/value relationship. Note: Overhaul programs vary according to the engine application and according to the dealer that performs the overhaul. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for specific information about the available overhaul programs and about overhaul services for extending the engine life. If an overhaul is performed without overhaul service from your Caterpillar dealer, be aware of the following maintenance recommendations.
Component Replacement

Turbocharger - Inspect
SMCS Code: 1052-040 Periodic inspection and cleaning is recommended for the turbocharger compressor housing (inlet side). Any fumes from the crankcase are filtered through the air inlet system. Therefore, by-products from oil and from combustion can collect in the turbocharger compressor housing. Over time, this buildup can contribute to loss of engine power, increased black smoke and overall loss of engine efficiency. If the turbocharger fails during engine operation, damage to the turbocharger compressor wheel and/or to the engine may occur. Damage to the turbocharger compressor wheel can cause additional damage to the pistons, the valves, and the cylinder head. NOTICE Turbocharger bearing failures can cause large quantities of oil to enter the air inlet and exhaust systems. Loss of engine lubricant can result in serious engine damage. Minor leakage of a turbocharger housing under extended low idle operation should not cause problems as long as a turbocharger bearing failure has not occurred. When a turbocharger bearing failure is accompanied by a significant engine performance loss (exhaust smoke or engine rpm up at no load), do not continue engine operation until the turbocharger is repaired or replaced. An inspection of the turbocharger can minimize unscheduled downtime. An inspection of the turbocharger can also reduce the chance for potential damage to other engine parts. Note: Turbocharger components require precision clearances. The turbocharger cartridge must be balanced due to high rpm. Severe Service Applications can accelerate component wear. Severe Service Applications require more frequent inspections of the cartridge.

Walk-Around Inspection
SMCS Code: 1000-040
NOTICE For any type of leak (coolant, lube, or fuel) clean up the fluid. If leaking is observed, find the source and correct the leak. If leaking is suspected, check the fluid levels more often than recommended until the leak is found or fixed, or until the suspicion of a leak is proved to be unwarranted. NOTICE Accumulated grease and/or oil on an engine or deck is a fire hazard. Remove this debris with steam cleaning or high pressure water.
