BREAKING IN YOUR NEW MACHINE


Each machine is carefully adjusted and tested before shipment. However, a new
machine requires careful operation during the first 100 hours to break in the various
parts.

If a machine is subjected to unreasonably hard use at the initial operation stage, the
potential of performance will prematurely deteriorate and the service life will be reduced.
A new machine must be operated with care, particularly with regard to the following
items.

. After starting, let the engine idle for 5 minutes to allow proper engine warm-up prior
to actual operation.

0 Avoid operation with heavy loads or at high speeds.

l Sudden starting or acceleration, unnecessarily abrupt braking and sharp turning’


should be avoided.

l At the first 250 hours of operation, the machine should be maintained in the
following manner in addition to usual 250 hours service:

1) Replacement of transmission oil filter element.


For replacement procedure and details, see maintenance table in the maintenance
section.

* When replacing oil filter elements (cartridges), check their interiors for dirt and dust.
If heavily collected, check for possible cause before starting operation.

* Hours of operation are indicated by the service meter.

so do asfollows.

FUEL AND LUBRICANTS

changetofuelandoilwithlowviscosityforallcomponents.Fordetailsofthespecifiedviscosity,
see the TABLE OF FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS.

COOLANT

Use antifreeze during all saasons to protact the cooling system from corrosion as well as’
~fraazingdamaga.

A mixture of 5096water and 50% ethylene-glycolbase antifreeze is required for operation of the
engine in temperature environments above -3X. A mixture of 40% water and 60% antifreeze
is recommended for temperatures below -3X.

MlTERY

As ambient temperature drops, battery capacitywill drop, and elactrolytemay sometimesfreeze


if battery charge is low. Maintain battery at a charge level of approx. 100% and insukte it against
cdd~esothatmachinecanbereadilystartedthenextmoming.

* Measure specific gravity of fluid and obtain rate of charge from the following convsrsion

has been stopped for several hours, run the
engine for at least 10 minutes after starting
before moving the machine.

CAUTIONS AFTER COMPLETION OF WORK

1. Mud and water on the machine body should be completely removed.

Park the machine on concrete or hard ground. If this is impossible, park the machine on
wooden boards. This will prevent the accessories from freezing to the ground thereby
preventingmachiie movementthe next morning. Particular attention should be given to water
drops collected on the surface of the hydraulic cylinder piston rods. Such droplets must be
fullywiped off because if water is frozen to the rod when the cylinder is utilized, the cylinder
oil seals may be damaged.

2. Drain water collected in the air tanks and fuel system so that such water may not be frozen
at night.

3. As battery capacity drops at low ambient temperature, cover the battery or remove it from
the machine to be kept warm at night.

AFTER COLD WEATHER

When weather becomes warm, perform the followingwithout fail:

* Replace lubricating oils for various units with the ones specitied for warm-weather use.

* Drain ‘antifreeze coolant (without corrosion inhibitor), flush the inside of cooling system
completely, and fill with dean soft water (such as city water).

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Proper lubrication and maintenance assure trouble-free operation and long machine life. Time
and money spent for scheduled periodic maintenance will be amply compensated by prolonged
machine operation and reduced operating cost.

All hourly figures given in the following descriptions are based on service meter readings. In
practice, however, it is recommended to rearrange all of them into units of days, weeks and
months to make the maintenance schedule more convenient. Under rough job site or operating
conditions, it is necessary to somewhat shorten the maintenance intervals stated in this manual.

BLEEDING AIR FROM CIRCUIT


BLEEDING AIR FROM HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT

l After replacing oil, fiker element or strainer, bleed the air from the circuit.
l To bleed the air from the hydraulic cylinders or hydraulic piping, run the engine at low idling
and do as follows.
1. Operate each hydraulic cylinder (of steering, bucket and lift am-r) 4 to 5 times, stopping
100 mm from stroke end.
2. Next, operate each cylinder3 to 4 times to the end of its stroke, then stop the engine and
loosen the air bleeding plug (1) of the hydraulic tank to bleed the air.
3. Increase the engine speed, and repeat step 2 to bleed the air until no more bubbles
come out from plug (1).
* If the engine is run at high speed at first, or if the cylinder is moved to the end of its
stroke, the air in the cylinder may damage the piston packing, etc.
4. After bleeding the air, tighten air bleed/ng _
plug (1).
* Tightening torque of the plug:
1.15 + 0.15 kgm

COOLANT CHANGE AND FLUSHING THE SYSTEM

coolANT

Heavy-duty diesel engines require a balanced coolant mixture of water, antifreeze, and
supplemental coolant additive (DCA4). Supplemental coolant additive recommendations are
included in this Section.) Drain and replace the mixture every 2 years.
DCA4 is recommended to inhibit corrosion in the cooling system.
Antifreeze.concentration level in coolant should not exceed required protection levels.
l A XI/!50 antifreeze/water mix provides protection to -34°F. This is more than adequate for
most geographic locations.
l Never exceed a 70/30 antifreeze/water mix ratio.
l Never use 100 percent antifreeze for makeup coolant.

DCA4 UNIT MAINTENANCE GUIDE

Use the supplemental coolant additive to protect the engine cooling system from corrosion.
Antiieeze alone does not provide enough corrosion protection for a heavy-duty diesel engine.
Supplemental corrosion protection must be supplied through periodic additions of the coolant
additive to the coolant.
DCA4 can be used for in service engines provided the cooling systems are drained and flushed,
and the old coolant is disposed of prior to installationof new coolant and the appropriate DCA4
filter.
Ming of DCA4 and other supplemental coolant additives is not recommended because there
is currently no test kit available to measure concentration levels with mixed chemical solutions.
With the use of DCA4 or the continued use of other supplemental coolant additives, Cummins
Engine Company recommends the following steps to prevent overconcentration and gel
formation:
. l Antifreeze concentration level in coolant must not exceed the required protection levels.
l Maintain proper supplemental coolant additive levels (do not overconcentrate)
l Wnh the use of any supplemental coolant additive,we recommend an antifreeze containing
less than 0.1 percent of silicate (measured as anhydrous alkali metasilicate).
To protect against corrosion, a new coolant charge must be brought up to one DCA4 unit per
3.8 litres [l.OO U.S. gallon] of coolant (initial charge).
Each time the coolant is drained and replaced, the coolant must be recharged with DCA (or
equivalent). New coolant can be correctlycharged with supplemental coolant add&es by using
liquid DCA4 concentrates or DCA4 filters listed in the following table.
If coolant is added between drain intervals, additional DCA4 will be required. See Maintenance
Guidelines (Section 2) or Engine Specif=tions (Section 5) for the correct test kit to check DCA
concentration.Check the coolant periodically.The DCA4 concentration must not fall below 1.0
unit per 3.8 lies [l.OClU.S. gallon] or exceed 2 units per 3.8 liires [l.OClU.S. gallon]

NOTES:

1. ENGINE OIL

Normal Opeqtion

Oil performance recommendations are as follows:


SECTION 2 MAINTENANCE
Page 62

The use of a qualii engine lubricating oil combinad with appropriate oil and filter change
intervals are critical factors in maintainingengine performance and durability.

SAE 15W4 mufti-visc&ity oil meeting the American Petroleum Institute (API) Classification
of CE/SF is recommeMed. CD/SF oil may be used in areas where CE/SF oil is not available.

A sutfated ash limit of.l.0 mass percent is suggested for optimum valve and piston deposit
and oil consumption control. The sulfated ash must not exceed 1.65 mass percent. The
sulfated ash limit of 1.85 mass percent has been placed on all engine lubricating oils
recommended for use in the engine. Higher ash oils can cause valve and/or piston damage
and lead to excess& oil consumption. .

The API service symbol displays the following information.The upper half of the symbol
displays the appropriate oil categories; the lower half may contain words to describe oil
energy conserving features. The center section identifiesthe SAE oil vixosky grade. *

Oil viscosity recommendations are as foflows:

The use of a multi-graded lubricatingoil has been.found to improve oil consumption control
and improve engine crank@g in cold temperatures while maintaining lubrication at high
operating temperatures.

While SAE 15W-40 multi-viscosityoil is recommended for most operating climates, refer to
the previous chart for oil viscosity recommendationsfor extreme cliites.

Limited use of low viscosity oils, such as SAE lOW-30 may be used for easier starting and
providingsufficientoil flow at ambienttemperaturesbelow + 23°F (-SC). However, continuous
use of low viscosity oils can decrease engine life due to wear.

Do not use special ‘break-in’ lubricatingoils for a new or rebuilt engine, Use the same type
of oil during the ‘break-in’ as specifredfor normal operation.

Arctlc Operation
ff an engine is operated in ambient temperatures consistently below -10°F (-23%) and there
are no provisionsto keep the engine warm when jt is not in operation, use a synthetic CE/SF
or CD/SF engine oil with adequate low temperature properties such as SAE 5W-20 or 5W-
30.

The oil supplier must be responsible for meeting the performance service specifications.

IMPORTANT: The use of a synthetic base oil does not justify extended oil change intervals.
Extended oil change intervals can decrease engine lii due to. factors such as; corrosion,
deposits and wear.

Additional informationregarding lubricatingoil availabilii throughout the world is available in


the ‘E.M.A Lubricating Oils Data Sook for Heavy Duty Automotive and Industrial Engines.”
The data book may be ordered from the Engine Manufacturers Association, One Illinois
Center, 111 East Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL U.S.A. 60601. The telephone number is (312)

2. ENGINE OIL

Use API ciassiicatbn CD engine oil. If API ciassiticationCC is:used, reduce the oil change
intarvaito half.

3. AXLE OIL

Foraxiaoii,useoniyther ecommended oil as follows:

SHELL: DONAXlTOTTD
CALTEX: RPM TRACTOR HYDRAULiC FLUID
CHEVRON: TRACTOR HYDRAUUC FLUID
TEXACO: TDH OIL
MOBI1: MOBIL AND SUPER UNIVERSAL

* lt is possible to substituteengine oil SAE 30W API classificationCD for axfeoil. lf noise comas
from the brake, it is no problem of durabilii.

4. DIESEL FUEL

A WARNING! Do not mlx gasoline or alcohol with diesal fuel. This mixture can
cause an explosion.

IMPORTANT: Due to the precise tolerances of diii injection systems, it is extrarnsfy


importantthat the fuel ba kept &an and free of dirt or water. Dirt or water in the system can
cause savare damage to both the injection pump and nozzles.

The usa of ASTM No. 2-D dii fuel with a minimum Catane number of 40 is recommendad.
The usa of No. 2-D diesel fuel will resuft in optimum engine perfonanca under most
operating condiions. Fuels wfth Cetane numbers higher than 40 may be naadad in high
akkudas or extremely low ambient temperatures to prevent misfiresand excessive smoke.

At operating tempemtums below +32”F (O’C), acceptable performance can ba obtained by


using a blend of No. 2-D and No. 1-D fuels. The usa of lighter fuels can reduce fuel economy.

Use a iow sulfur content fuel having a cioud point that is at least 10 degrees below tha lowest
x$fuei temperature. Cloud point is the temperature at which crystals begin to fwm

The viscosii of the fuel must be kept above 1.3 cSt to provide adequate fuel system
lubriqation.

5. COOLANT

Heavy duty diesel engines require a balanced coolant mixture of water, antifreeze, and
supplementalcoolantadditives.Supplementalcoolantadditiverecommendationsare included
in the s&on entitled ‘CHANGE THE COOLANT AND FLUSH THE COOUNG SYSTEM’. The
coofant should ba changed at the specified service interval shown in the ‘MAINTENANCE
TABLE’.
SECTION 2 MAINTENANCE
Page 64

DCA4 is recommended to inhibit corrosion in the cooling system.

In climates where tha temperature is above -34°F (-3X), usa a coolant mixturethat contains
50 percent anweeze Antifreeze is essential in any climate. It broadens the operating
temperature range ‘b; lowering the coolant freezing point and by raising its boiling point. Do
not use more than 50 percent antifraeza in the mixture unless additionalfraeze protectionis
required. Never usa more than 58 parcant antifreeze under any condii.

Low silii ethytane giycol antifraaze is recommended. The antifmaze should contain no
more than 0.1% anhydrous alkali metasiliie. Low skate antifreeze is recommended to
avoid ths fom@ion of silica-gel (hydra-gel). This gel formation can cxcur when the cooling
systemcorwnsanover concentrationof high silicateantifraezeand/or supplementalcoolant
additive.DONOTusemethandoralcoholasansntiireetebecauseofitslowboilingpoint.

Antifmeze may retain its freeze protectionfor more than one season but coolant conditioners *
must lx added to maintain corrosion protection.

Antifreaza form&ted wtth methoxy propanol, or propylene glycol, is not n3commendadfor


this systam.

NOTEz Do not mix typas of antifreeze sofutions.Mixed sofutionsmake it impossible to


datafmina the pro&&on against bezing. Antifreezecontahfng sealer or anti-leak
additivesshould NOTbe usedin thissystam.Sealer oranti-laakadditivas willcause
plugging problams in the cooling system.

Check the solution periodically‘and at normal operating tamparature,to be sure the cooling
system has wfficient protection against freezing.

Usa water which has a low mineralcontent. Water usad in conjunctionwith antifreeze,coolant
filters and inhibited water must maat the followingstandards:

Totat Hardness - Not to exceed 170 parts per million (10 grains/gallon maximum) to
prevent state deposits. Water containing dissolved magnesium and calcium (the usual
reason for water hardness) above the specSed amount will cause scale deposits to
develop in the engine.

Chlorides - Not to exceed 40 parts per million (2.5 grains/gallon maximum) to prevent
CorrOSiOtl.

Sulfites - Not to exceed 100 parts per million (5.8 grains/gallon maximum) to prevent
corrosion.

Dissohfed 6cWs - Not to exceed 340 parts per million (20 gmins/gallon maximum) to
minimize sludge deposii, scale deposits, corrosion or a combination of these.

lf any of the above requirements cannot be met, use distilled, de-ionized, or de-mineraliied
water. To datermine if tocal water supplies meat these standards, water samples can ba
tested by water treatment laboratories.Softened’ water that is prepared using common salt
(sodium chtorfde)contains excessive amounts of chloridas and should not be used.

NOTE: Never use water alone in the cooling systembecause corrosion will occur’.
MAINTENANCE SECTION 2
Page 66

Maintain supplemental coolant additive levels at 1 unit DCA4 par I U.S. gal (3.8 liters) of
coolant.

Use antifreeze during all seasons to protect the cooling system from corrosion as well as
freezing damage.

A rn-ktureof 5096watk and 60% ethylene glycol bass antifreeze is required for operation of
the angina in temperature environments above -34.VF (-37%). A mixture of 4096 water and
60% antifreeze is recommended for temperatures below -34.6”F (-37%).

In tropkal di where antifreeze availability may be limited, use a corrosion inhibitor


(Cummins liquid DCA), or an equivalent to protect the engine cooling system.

Do not operate eiqine without a thermostat.

HANDLING OF BAlTERY
PRECAUYONS FOR CHARGING BATIERY
1. Wore charging, d&conn& the cable from the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
Othewise; an unusually hiih voltage will damage the alternator.
2 While charging the battery, remove all battery plugs for satisfactoryventilation.
To avoid gas explosions, do not bring fire or sperks near the battery.
3. lf the electrolytetemperature exceeds 45°C. stop charging for a while:
4. Turn off the charger as soon as the battery is charged.
Overcharging the battery may cause the following:
1) Overheating the battery.
2) Decreasing the quantity of electrolyte.
3) Damaging the electrode plate.
5. lf the elecWyW gets on your skin or clothes, immediatelywash with plenty of dean water.
6. Do not mix up cables (posiie (+) to negative (-) or negative (-) to positive (+)), as it will
damage the alternator.
7. When inspecting or servicing a battery, be sure to stop the engine and turn the starting
switch key to “OFF” position.
8. When performingany service to battery besides checking the electrolyte level or measuring
the speci6c gravity, d&connect cables from the battery.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BATIERY
When removing battery, first disconnect the cable from the ground (normally, from the
negative (-) tetinal). ff a tool touches a cable connecting the positive terminal and the
chassis, there is danger of sparks being emitted.
When installingbattery, the ground cable should be connected to the ground terminal as the
last step.

The batteries are mounted on both side of the machine. The groundktg cable is connected
to the left side battery.

STORAGE
BEFORE STORAGE
To place the machine in storage for an extended period of time, the following measures must
be taken to insure that it can be returned to operation with minimum of service.

In case it is indispensable to leave it outdoors, lay wood plates on the ground, and park the
m8chineonthewoodplatesandwveritwithcanvasetc.

Completely fill fuel tank, lubricate end change oil before storage.

Apply a thin coat of grease to metal surface (hydraulic piston rods and splined shaft).

As to better&, remove the terminals and cover them, or remove them from the machii end
store separately.

When the ambient temperature is anticipated to drop below 0°C. always add antifreeze in
the cooling water.

Set C+I control lever to neutral or hold position, lock them and apply the parking brake.
SECTION 3 SAFETY AND OPERATION
Page 34

DURING STORAGE

l Operate the engine and move the machine for a short distance once a month so the new oil
film will be coated over movable parts and component surfaces.

l Before opeiating the work equipment, wipe off the grease on the hydraulic piston rod.

A
WARNING! If it is unavoidably necessary to carry out r&preventive operation
,while the machine is indoors, open up doors and windows to improve
ventilation and prevent the gas poisoning.

AFTER STORAGE

After storage (when it is,kept without cover or the rust-preventiveoperation once a month is not
made), you shall apply the followingtreatment before operation.

Mpe off the grease on the hydraulic piston rod-

Loosen the drain plugs on oil pan and other cases and drain mixed water.

Completely fill fuel tank, lubricate and add oil.

After the engine is started, operate it until it is warmed up completely.
