Operation and maintenance manual

4. Clean the cooling system filler cap and inspect the
gasket. If the gasket is damaged, discard the old
filler cap and install a new filler cap. If the gasket is
not damaged, use a suitable pressurizing pump in
order to pressure test the filler cap. The correct
pressure is stamped on the face of the filler cap. If
the filler cap does not retain the correct pressure,
install a new filler cap.

Diesel Particulate Filter - Clean
Wear goggles, gloves, protective clothing, and a
National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) approved P95 or N95 half-face
respirator when handling a used Diesel Particu-
late Filter or Catalytic Converter Muffler. Failure
to do so could result in personal injury.
The muffler, catalytic converter/muffler, and die-
sel particulate filter will become extremely hot
during engine operation. A hot muffler, catalytic
converter/muffler and diesel particulate filter can
cause serious burns. Allow adequate cooling
time before working on or near the muffler, cata-
lytic converter/muffler and diesel particulate
filter.

lates on the engine.
Periodic cleaning of the engine is recommended.
Steam cleaning the engine will remove accumulated
oil and grease. A clean engine provides the following
benefits:
• Easy detection of fluid leaks
