84 SEBU7899-05 Maintenance Section Engine Protective Devices - Check 3. Start the engine and run the engine at “LOW IDLE” for 2 minutes. Perform this procedure in order to ensure that the lubrication system has oil and that the oil filters are filled. Inspect the oil filter for oil leaks. 4. Stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back to the sump for a minimum of 10 minutes. 5. Remove the oil level gauge in order to check the oil level. Maintain the oil level between the “ADD” and “FULL” marks on the oil level gauge. i02861779 Engine Protective Devices - Check g00103713 Illustration 48 Typical filter mounting base and filter gasket 3. Clean the sealing surface of the filter mounting base.
Ensure that all of the old oil filter gasket is removed. SMCS Code: 7400-535 Visual Inspection 4. Apply clean engine oil to the new oil filter gasket. Visually check the condition of all gauges, sensors and wiring. Look for wiring and components that are loose, broken, or damaged. Damaged wiring or components should be repaired or replaced immediately. NOTICE Do not fill the oil filters with oil before installing them. This oil would not be filtered and could be contaminat- ed. Contaminated oil can cause accelerated wear to engine components. Calibration Check 5. Install the oil filter. Tighten the oil filter until the oil filter gasket contacts the base.
Tighten the oil filter by hand according to the instructions that are shown on the oil filter. Do not overtighten the oil filter. NOTICE During testing, abnormal operating conditions must be simulated. The tests must be performed correctly in order to pre- vent possible damage to the engine. Fill the Engine Crankcase 1. Remove the oil filler cap. Alarms and shutoffs must function properly. Alarms provide timely warning to the operator. Shutoffs help to prevent damage to the engine. It is impossible to determine if the engine protective devices are in good working order during normal operation. Malfunctions must be simulated in order to test the engine protective devices.
To prevent damage to the engine, only authorized service personnel or your Caterpillar dealer should perform the tests. 2. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Refill Capacities” for the amount of oil required to fill the crankcase. Fill the crankcase and replace the oil filler cap. NOTICE If equipped with an auxiliary oil filter system or a re- mote oil filter system, follow the OEM or filter manu- facturer's recommendations. Under filling or overfilling the crankcase with oil can cause engine damage. Consult your Caterpillar dealer or refer to the Service Manual for more information. NOTICE To prevent crankshaft bearing damage, crank the en- gine with the fuel OFF.
This will fill the oil filters before starting the engine. Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds.
