8B.4.5 Check Air Cleaner
Restriction Indicator
1. Check air cleaner restriction indicator, Fig.
8B.4. If red band has appeared, clean or
replace the primary element as described in
paragraph 8B.4.7.
2. Momentarily press reset button on top of
indicator after you service the primary el-
ement.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the engine without
air cleaner. Intake air must be filtered to prevent
dirt and debris from entering the engine and
causing premature wear.
NOTE: Maximum intake air restriction for a
turbocharged engine is 25" (635 mm) of water and
for a naturally aspirated engine is 20" (508 mm) of
water. You must operate a turbocharged engine
at rated rpm and full load when checking maxi-
mum intake air restriction. Clean or replace air
cleaner element before restriction reaches the
maximum allowable limit.
3. Continue with next step.
8B.4.6 Check Air Cleaner
Vacuator Valve
1. With the carriage lowered to the ground, the
engine shut-off and the park lock engaged,
unlock and open the right rear engine access
door.
2. Remove dust and dirt from the vacuator valve,
Fig. 8B.5. The lips of the automatic dust
ejector must close but not adhere or stick
together.
3. Continue with next step.

8B.4.3 Check Engine Oil Level
1. Wait at least 5 minutes after shutting off the
engine to check the oil. This allows time for
the oil to drain to the oil pan.
2. Remove and check the engine oil level
dipstick, Fig. 8B.2.
3. Oil should be within the crosshatched area.
4. Replace dipstick.
5. If required, add 10W30 or 15W40 motor oil
that is equal to API, CD or CE (severe duty
diesel engine) specifications. From the low
mark to the high mark, oil capacity is 1 quart
(0,95 liters). Refer to paragraph 8B.8 for oil
Specifications.
6. Continue with next step.

2. When the coolant is hot, the bottle should be
3/4 full to full. When the coolant is cool, the
bottle should be 1/4 to 1/2 full.
3. Remove cap on overflow bottle and add
coolant as required. Use a 50/50 mixture of
ethylene glycol and water. Protect the engine
to –34 °F (–37 °C) year round.
4. Several weeks before you anticipate freezing
temperatures, check antifreeze concentration
using a hydrometer as described in paragraph
8B.9.1.
5. Continue with next step.
NOTE: Use of a sealing additive to stop leaks in
the coolant system can plug coolant passages and
cause inadequate coolant flow.
