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.
Accumulated grease and/or oil on an engine or deck is a fire hazard. Remove this debris with steam cleaning or high pressure water.
Note: Use care when you use steam cleaning. Use care when you use high pressure water. Direct spray to rotating electrics or electronic components can cause nonfixable damage.
Water and/or condensation can cause damage to electrical components. Protect all electrical components from exposure to water.
Ensure that the coolant lines are properly clamped. Ensure that the fittings are tight. Check for leaks. Check the condition of all pipes.
Inspect the water pump for coolant leaks.Note: The water pump seal is lubricated by coolant in the cooling system. It is normal for a small amount of leakage to occur as the engine cools down and the parts contract.Excessive coolant leakage may indicate the need to replace the water pump seal. For the removal of water pump and the installation of water pump and/or seals, refer to the Service Manual for the engine or consult your Caterpillar dealer.
Inspect the lubrication system for leaks at the following locations: front crankshaft seal, rear crankshaft seal, oil pan, oil filters, valve cover, turbocharger, external oil lines and connections.
Inspect the fuel system for leaks. Look for loose fuel line clamps or connections.
Inspect the piping for the air inlet system and the elbows for cracks and for loose clamps or connections.
Ensure that the exhaust system is properly clamped. Ensure that the connections are tight. Check for leaks. Check the condition of all connections and components of the exhaust system.
Inspect the alternator belt and the accessory drive belts for cracks, breaks or other damage.Belts for multiple groove pulleys must be replaced as matched sets. If only one belt is replaced, the belt will carry more load than the belts that are not replaced. The older belts are stretched. The additional load on the new belt could cause the belt to break.
Drain the water and the sediment from fuel tanks on a daily basis in order to ensure that only clean fuel enters the fuel system.
Inspect the wiring and the wiring harnesses for loose connections and for worn wires or frayed wires.
Inspect the ground strap for a good connection and for good condition.
Inspect the engine-to-frame ground strap for a good connection and for good condition.
Disconnect any battery chargers that are not protected against the current drain of the starting motor. Check the condition and the electrolyte level of the batteries, unless the engine is equipped with a maintenance free battery.
Check the condition of the gauges. Replace any gauges which are cracked. Replace any gauges that can not be calibrated.Shielding against Heat, Fuel Spray, and Oil Spray
Check that nylon shields are fully snapped over all fuel and oil line connections, per International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations. In case a joint should come loose during engine operation, both latches on the nylon shields must be engaged in order to properly contain fuel spray or oil spray. Any cracked shields or broken shields should be replaced.Fuel or oil line connections that have been taped should be inspected in order to ensure that the tape is properly installed on the joint. The tape must cover both ends of the connector at the joint in order to ensure against contamination of fuel or oil spray from a loose joint. Damaged tape should be replaced. Apply tape to any fuel connection or oil connections that lack tape.Heat shields around the exhaust manifolds, turbine housings, and exhaust elbows should be inspected for gaps in the joints of the shielding. Any gaps should be closed by adjusting the position of the shielding. Missing ties should be replaced. Shielding that is damaged should be replaced.
