874354 Volvo.Penta Brush retainer

Tighten Terminals
* Clean the top of the batteries with a clean cloth. Loosen and remove cable clamps from all battery terminals. Clean all battery terminals. Clean all cable clamps. Coat cable clamps and terminals with 5N5561 Silicone Lubricant, petroleum jelly or MPGM grease.* Install and tighten cable clamps to battery terminals. Tighten the battery retainers and cable clamp connections and check the following at least every 250 hours, and more often if conditions require. Keep the terminals clean and coated with petroleum jelly. Install the post cover after coating.Clean/Check Electrolyte Level
* Check condition of batteries and electrolyte level in each battery cell (except maintenance free). Remove fill caps. Maintain electrolyte level to bottom on fill plug openings with distilled water. If distilled water is not available, use clean water, low in minerals. Do not use artificially softened or drinking water. The salts in artificially softened water will damage or reduce the efficiency of your batteries.At the proper charging rate in a moderate climate, a battery should not require more than 30 cc (1 ounce) of water per cell per week. Check the cells weekly in cold temperatures, cell water usage could be higher. Check Battery Charger (if equipped)
Check the battery charger for proper operation. If batteries are properly charged, ammeter reading should be very near zero.All batteries should be kept charged to a corrected specific gravity of 1.250 or above. The batteries should be kept warm, if possible.The battery temperature affects the cranking power. If the battery is too cold, it will not crank the engine, even if the engine is warm.When the engine is not run for long periods of time or is run for short periods, the batteries may not fully recharge. Ensure a full charge to help prevent the battery from freezing.Battery or Battery Cable Replacement
When replacing batteries or battery cables, use the procedure that follows.1. Place the OEM provided ECS switch to the OFF/RESET position and turn off all electrical loads.2. Disconnect the cable that goes to the frame (one cable end connects to frame and one to battery negative). Be sure the cable cannot contact the stud where it was just removed.3. Disconnect the negative battery cable terminal at the battery(s). Where four batteries are involved, the negative side of two batteries must be disconnected.4. Proceed with necessary system repairs.5. Connect one end of the negitive cable back to the frame. Connect the other end of the negative battery cable to the negitive terminal on the battery(s). Where four batteries are involved, the negative side of two batteries must be connected.Belts, Hoses and Clamps
Inspect/Replace Alternator and Fan Drive Belts
Inspect the condition and adjustment of alternator and fan drive belts. Examine all belts and replace if they show any signs of wear. Loose or worn pulley grooves cause belt slippage and lower drive speed. If belts are too loose, they vibrate enough to cause unnecessary wear on the belts and pulleys and possibly slip enough to cause overheating. If belts are too tight, unnecessary stresses are placed upon the pulley bearings and belts which can shorten the life of both.If one belt in a set requires replacement, always install a new matched set of belts. Never replace just the worn belt. If only the worn belt is replaced, the new belt will carry all the load, as it will not be stretched as much as the older belts. All the belts will fail in rapid succession.1. Remove belt guards. Inspect the condition and adjustment of alternator and fan drive belts.2. To check the belt tension, apply 110 Newton (25 lb) force, perpendicular to the belt, midway between the driving and driven pulley. Measure the belt deflection. Adjust the belt tension as required. Correctly adjusted belts will deflect 13 to 20 mm (1/2 to 7/8 inch).Adjust Alternator Belts
3. Loosen the mounting pivot bolt (1). Loosen the adjustment nut(s) (2).4. Adjust the alternator in or out by either tightening or loosening adjustment nut(s) as required to obtain the correct adjustment.5. Tighten bolts (1) and (2). Check the belt tension. Install the belt guard.If new belts are installed, check belt adjustment again after 30 minutes of engine operation. Repeat belt tightening if required.Adjust Fan Drive Belts
1. Loosen bolts holding the fan mounting plate to the engine.2. Loosen locknut and turn adjusting screw until the belts are properly adjusted.3. Tighten bolts and locknut.4. Check the belt adjustment. If adjustment is not correct, repeat steps 1 through 3.Inspect/Replace Hoses and Clamps
Hose replacement prior to failure is a good preventive maintenance practice. Replacing a hose before it fails reduces the chances for unscheduled downtime. By replacing a hose that is cracked, soft or leaking, major repairs will be avoided that could result in a severe engine overheating problem.* Inspect all hoses for leaks due to cracking, softness and loose clamps.* Replace hoses that are cracked or soft and tighten loose clamps.Before Replacing Hoses
1. Loosen the cooling system filler cap slowly to relieve any pressure and remove the cap.2. Drain the coolant from the cooling system to a level below the hose being replaced. Remove the hose clamps, disconnect the old hose and replace with a new hose. Install hose clamps. See the Torque for Standard Hose Clamps chart in the Torque Specifications section of this publication for the appropriate torque.After Replacing Hoses
Refer to the Cooling System Specifications section in this publication for information about cooling system requirements.3. Add proper coolant mixture to the cooling system. Fill system to the proper level. Install the filler cap. Start the engine and inspect for cooling system leaks.4. Check coolant temperature reading frequently for proper operating temperature.Engine Air Cleaner
Never service the air cleaner with the engine running since this will allow dirt to enter the engine. Check the inlet piping for leaks. Make all repairs to inlet piping immediately, as dirt and debris could enter the engine causing damage to the turbocharger and engine components.Clean or replace elements using these recommendations and/or your weather and operating conditions, or when required by the restriction indicator.
