2. Rinse with clean water, 40 PSI maximum (3 kg/cm2), see above.
3. Air dry thoroughly and check.

Checking Element

1. Insert light inside clean and dry element and check. Discard element if pinholes or tears are found.

2. Wrap and store good elements in a clean dry place.

------ WARNING! ------

When using pressure air wear safety glasses and protective clothing. Maximum air pressure must be below 30 PSI (2 kg/cm2).

------WARNING!--------


NOTICE

Do not clean elements by bumping or tapping.

Do not use elements with damaged pleats, gaskets or seals.


NOTE: Have spare elements on hand to use while cleaning used elements.

(63)Cooling System

Whenever draining and refilling the cooling system, always recheck the coolant level when the engine reaches normal operating temperature. Remove cap and maintain coolant level 1/2" (1 cm) below the bottom of the fill pipe.

Use clean water that is low in scale forming minerals - not softened water.

Never add coolant to an overheated engine. Allow engine to cool first.

Add AVSpare Corrosion Inhibitor. Follow recommendations given on container.

Check specific gravity of antifreeze solution frequently in cold weather to assure adequate protection.

------ WARNING! ------

Inhibitor contains alkali, avoid contact with skin and eyes.

------WARNING!--------

NOTE: If machine is to be stored in or shipped to an area with below freezing temperatures, the cooling system must be drained completely or protected to lowest expected ambient temperature.

Cleaning the Cooling System

1. Run engine until water temperature gauge registers NORMAL. Park motor grader on level ground and stop engine.

2. Turn filler cap slowly to relieve pressure, then remove caps.

3. Open drain valve and drain coolant.

4. Close drain valve and fill system with cleaning solution. (1)
5. Start and run engine for 1/2hour. Stop engine and drain cleaning solution.

6. Flush system with clean water until draining water is clear.

7. Close drain valve and fill system with neutralizing solution. (2)
8. Start and run engine for 10 minutes. Stop engine and open drain valve.
9. Flush system with clean water.

10. Close drain valve and add coolant to proper level.


(1)2 lb. (1 kilo) Sodium Bisulfate (NaHSO4) per 10 gal. (40 ltr) water.


(2)1/2 lb. (250 g) Sodium Carbonate Crystals (Na2CO3. 10 H2O) per 10 gal. (40 ltr. water).

NOTE: Most commercial cooling system cleaners may be used.

------ WARNING! ------

Use all cleaning solutions with care.
