10. Fill radiator completely with 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and
water. Total System Capacity is 4 gallons (15 liter). Add coolant to
overflow bottle until bottle is about 1/2 to 3/4 full. This “overfilling”
will compensate for any air in the cooling system.
11. Close the petcock on the turbo aftercooler.
12. Clean dirt and debris from radiator fins and core, if required.
13. Start engine and run vehicle to normal operating temperature and
then shut OFF the engine. While the engine is cooling, check for
leaks.
14. After engine has cooled for several minutes, open the petcock on
the turbo aftercooler. Allow air in the system to escape. Close pet-
cock when coolant starts flowing from the petcock. All air is now
purged from the aftercooler.
15. Allow engine to cool to ambient temperature. Check radiator cool-
ant level and top off completely. Replace radiator cap.
16. Overflow bottle should be 1/4 to 1/2 full. If it is not, add coolant to
overflow bottle. Close and lock all access doors.
Engine Oil Recommendations
The use of quality engine oil combined with the appropriate oil and filter
change intervals are critical factors in maintaining engine performance and
durability.
Use 15W40 motor oil that meets API, CD or CE (severe duty diesel engine)
specifications.
A. Oil Level Check
1. Level the vehicle, ground the carriage, place the travel select lever
in (N) NEUTRAL, move neutral lock lever to NEUTRAL LOCK
position, engage the parking brake switch and shut off the engine.
2. Unlock and open right rear engine access door.
