Calibration Check
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.
NOTICE
During testing, abnormal operating conditions must be
simulated.
The tests must be performed correctly in order to prevent possible damage to the engine.
Cut the used oil filter open with a utility knife. Remove
the metal wrap. Cut the filter element free from the
end caps. Spread apart the pleats and inspect the
element for metal debris. An excessive amount of
debris in the element may indicate early wear or a
pending failure.
Use a magnet to differentiate between the ferrous
metals and the nonferrous metals that are found in
the element. Ferrous metals may indicate wear on
the steel and cast iron parts of the engine. Nonferrous
metals may indicate wear on the aluminum parts,
brass parts or bronze parts of the engine. Parts that
may be affected include the following components:
main bearings, rod bearings, turbocharger bearings,
and cylinder heads.
Due to normal wear and friction, it is not uncommon
to find small amounts of debris in the oil filter element.
If an excessive amount of debris is found in the oil
filter element, consult your Caterpillar dealer in order
to arrange for further oil analysis.

Drain the water and sediment from the day tank daily.
The quality of the fuel or the operating conditions
may require the water and sediment to be drained
more often.
Fill the day tank after operating the engine in
order to drive out moist air. This will help prevent
condensation. Do not fill the tank to the top. The
fuel expands as the fuel gets warm. The tank may
overflow.
Some day tanks use supply pipes that allow water
and sediment to settle below the end of the fuel
supply pipe. Some day tanks use supply lines that
take fuel directly from the bottom of the tank. If
the engine is equipped with this system, regular
maintenance of the fuel system filter is important.
i00746380
Day Tank
Fuel quality is critical to the performance and to the
service life of the engine. Water in the fuel can cause
excessive wear to the fuel system. Condensation
occurs during the heating and cooling of fuel. The
condensation occurs as the fuel passes through the
fuel system and the fuel returns to the day tank. This
causes water to accumulate in the day tank. Draining
the day tank regularly and obtaining fuel from reliable
sources can help to eliminate water from the fuel.
Day tanks should have a provision for draining water
and sediment.
Open the drain valve on the bottom of the day tank
in order to drain the water and the sediment. Close
the drain valve.

SEBU7150-05
Overhaul Inspection
Refer to the Service Manual for the disassembly and
assembly procedures that are necessary in order
to perform the required maintenance on the items
that are listed. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for
assistance.
To determine the reusability publications that are
needed to inspect the engine, refer to Guidelines for
Reusable Parts and Salvage Operations, SEBF8029,
Index of Publications on Reusability or Salvage of
Used Parts.
The Guidelines For Reusable Parts and Salvage
Operations is part of an established Caterpillar
parts reusability program. These guidelines were
developed in order to assist Caterpillar dealers and
customers reduce costs by avoiding unnecessary
expenditures for new parts. If the engine parts comply
with the established inspection specifications, the
parts can be reused.
The use of out-of-spec parts could result in
unscheduled downtime and/or costly repairs. The use
of out-of-spec parts can also contribute to increased
fuel consumption and reduction of engine efficiency.
New parts are not necessary if the old parts can be
reused, repaired, or salvaged. Otherwise, the old
parts can be replaced or exchanged.
Your Caterpillar dealer can provide the parts that are
needed to rebuild the engine at the least possible
cost.
Overhaul Programs
An economical way to obtain most of the parts
that are needed for overhauls is to use Caterpillar
remanufactured parts. Caterpillar remanufactured
parts are available at a fraction of the cost of new
parts. These parts have been rebuilt by Caterpillar
and certified for use. The following components are
examples of the remanufactured parts:
Cylinder heads
Oil Pumps

Maintenance Section
Starting Motor - Inspect
Turbochargers
Water pumps
Consult your Caterpillar dealer for details and for a
list of the remanufactured parts that are available.
Your Caterpillar dealer may be offering a variety of
overhaul options.
A Flat Rate Overhaul guarantees the maximum price
that you will pay for an overhaul. Flat rate prices on
preventive maintenance programs or major repair
options are available from many servicing dealers
for all Caterpillar Engines. Consult your Caterpillar
dealer in order to schedule a before failure overhaul.
Overhaul Recommendation
Caterpillar recommends a scheduled overhaul in
order to minimize downtime. A scheduled overhaul
will provide the lowest cost and the greatest value.
Schedule an overhaul with your Caterpillar dealer.
Overhaul programs vary between dealers. To obtain
specific information about the types of overhaul
programs and services, consult your Caterpillar
dealer.

Turbocharger - Inspect
SMCS Code: 1052-040
Periodic inspection and cleaning is recommended for
the turbocharger compressor housing (inlet side).
Minor leakage of a turbocharger housing under extended low idle operation should not cause problems
as long as a turbocharger bearing failure has not occurred.
When a turbocharger bearing failure is accompanied
by a significant engine performance loss (exhaust
smoke or engine rpm up at no load), do not continue
engine operation until the turbocharger is repaired or
replaced.
An inspection of the turbocharger can minimize
unscheduled downtime. An inspection of the
turbocharger can also reduce the chance for potential
damage to other engine parts.
Note: Turbocharger components require clearances
that are precise. The turbocharger cartridge
must be balanced due to high rpm. Severe
service applications can accelerate the wear of the
components. Severe service applications may require
more frequent inspections of the turbocharger.

NOTICE
For any type of leak (coolant, lube, or fuel) clean up the
fluid. If leaking is observed, find the source and correct
the leak. If leaking is suspected, check the fluid levels
more often than recommended until the leak is found
or fixed, or until the suspicion of a leak is proved to be
unwarranted.
NOTICE
Accumulated grease and/or oil on an engine or deck is
a fire hazard. Remove this debris with steam cleaning
or high pressure water.
Inspect the piping for the air inlet system and the
elbows for cracks and for loose clamps.
