SERIES 40 ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

This guide is intended for use by theoperator of a Detroit Diesel Series40™ engine used in one of thefollowing applications:

□ Transit Coaches

□ Construction/Industrial

□ Generator Set

Non-Genuine and RebuiltComponent Quality AlertIn recent years, electronic enginecontrols have been instrumentalin aiding engine manufacturers inmeeting the stringent emissionrequirements of the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(U.S. EPA) and the California AirResources Board (CARB) andalso in meeting the ever-increasingperformance demands of the customer.

Maintenance procedures are tobe followed in order to continuesatisfactory performance anddurability and to ensure coverage ofthe engine under the manufacturer'swarranty. Many of these maintenanceprocedures also ensure that the enginecontinues to comply with applicableemissions standards. The U.S.EPA specifically defines an engine's“useful emission life” — currentlyestablished as 290,000 miles (464,000kilometers) for on-highway engines.

Proper maintenance procedures, usingspecific components engineered tocomply with emissions regulations,may be performed by an authorizedDetroit Diesel distributor or dealer,an independent outlet or the operatoror owner. The owner is responsiblefor determining the suitability ofcomponents to maintain emissionscompliance during the engine's usefulemission life.

Electronic controls and componentshave significantly increased insophistication, but the fundamentalobjective remains the same — precisetiming and delivery of fuel. The veryheart of the Detroit Diesel electroniccontrols is the electronic unit injector(EUI). The proper functioning of theEUI is absolutely paramount if thebenefits of electronic controls are to berealized. Detroit Diesel Corporationhas built over 650,000 engines withelectronic unit injectors — more thananyone else in the business.

Detroit Diesel cautions that theindiscriminate rebuilding of precisioncomponents, without the benefit ofspecifications, specialized equipment,and knowledge of the electronicoperating system, will jeopardizeperformance or lead to more seriousproblems, and can take the engineoutside of compliance with U.S. EPAor CARB emissions standards.

INTRODUCTION

There are other components inan engine, such as turbocharger,camshaft, piston, etc., whichare specifically designed andmanufactured to exacting standardsfor emissions compliance. It isimportant that these components, ifreplaced, modified or substituted, canbe verified to ensure that the engineremains in compliance with emissionsstandards. The use of inadequatelyengineered, manufactured or testedcomponents in repair or rebuild ofthe engine may be in violation of thefederal Clean Air Act and applicableU.S. EPA (Environmental ProtectionAgency) or CARB (California AirResources Board) regulations.

Furthermore, modern engines exhibitoperating parameters which requirethe use of proper fluids, such asfuel, coolant and lubricating oil, tomaintain long engine life. The use offluids that do not meet Detroit DieselCorporation specifications may resultin early wear out or engine failure.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Preparations for Startingthe Engine the First TimeWhen preparing to start a new ornewly overhauled engine which hasbeen in storage, perform all of theoperations listed below. Failure tofollow these instructions may resultin serious engine damage. Before aroutine start, see the “Daily” checksfor your engine. Refer to sectionMAINTENANCE SCHEDULES.

Diesel engine exhaust and someof its constituents are known tothe State of California to causecancer, birth defects, and otherreproductive harm.

□ Always start and operate anengine in a well ventilatedarea.

□ If operating an engine inan enclosed area, vent theexhaust to the outside.

□ Do not modify or tamperwith the exhaust system oremission control system.

To avoid injury when workingnear or on an operating engine,remove loose items of clothing,jewelry, tie back or contain longhair that could be caught in anymoving part causing injury.

Cooling System Checks

1. Make sure all drain cocks inthe cooling system are installed(drain cocks are often removedfor shipping) and are closedtightly.

2. Remove the radiator pressurecontrol cap and fill with genuineDetroit Diesel Power Coolantifreeze or an equivalent qualityethylene glycol or propyleneglycol-base antifreeze solutionin the required concentration.In extremely hot environments,properly inhibited water maybe used in the summer. Keepthe coolant level at the bottomof the filler neck to allow forexpansion of the coolant. Formore detailed recommendations,

SERIES 40 ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE

refer to section G. How to SelectCoolant in this guide.

NOTE:Entrapped air must be purged afterfilling the cooling system. To do this,allow the engine to warm up withthe pressure cap removed. Withthe transmission in neutral, increaseengine speed above 1,000 rpm andadd coolant to the radiator as required.

3. Check to make sure the front ofthe radiator and air-to-air chargecooler are unblocked and free ofdebris.

Lubrication System Checks

The lubricating oil film on the rotatingparts and bearings of a new or newlyoverhauled engine, or one which hasbeen in storage for six months ormore, may be insufficient when theengine is started for the first time.

NOTICE:Insufficient lubrication at startup cancause serious damage to enginecomponents.

To insure an immediate flow ofoil to all bearing surfaces at initialengine startup, the engine lubricationsystem should be charged with acommercially available pressurepre-lubricator. If this is impractical,

rocker cover should be removedand clean lubricating oil should bepoured over the rocker arms. Theoil should be the same weight andviscosity as that used in the crankcase.After pre-lubricating, replace rockercover and add additional oil to bringthe level to the proper mark on thedipstick. See Figure 8.

Figure 8 Check Lube Oil LevelBefore Starting

NOTE:The current oil level gage is identifiedby the words “Operating Range” and“Add” separated by a cross-hatchedarea. When using this dipstick, keepthe oil level within the cross-hatchedarea.

NOTE:The former oil level gage has the word“Full” above the upper gage line andthe word “Add” below the lower gageline. When using this dipstick, maintainthe oil level between the “Full” and“Add” gage lines.

Page 30: DDC-SVC-MAN-0057.PDF - EPA04 Series 40 Engine Operator's …...SERIES 40 ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE INTRODUCTION This guide is intended for use by the operator of a Detroit Diesel Series

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTICE:To avoid engine damage, neveroperate the engine when the oil levelis outside the cross-hatched areaon the current dipstick or outside thearea between the “Add” and “Full”gage lines on the former dipstick.

For lubricant recommendation,refer to section A. How to SelectLubricating Oil in the How To sectionof this guide.

Extended Storage – An enginein storage for an extended periodof time (over winter, for example)may accumulate water in the oilpan through normal condensation ofmoisture (always present in the air)on the cold, internal surfaces of theengine. Lube oil diluted by watercannot provide adequate bearingprotection at engine startup. For thisreason, Detroit Diesel recommendsreplacing the engine lubricating oiland filters after extended storage.

NOTICE:Failure to eliminate water-dilutedlubricating oil may lead to seriousengine damage at startup.

Fuel System Checks

Fill the tanks with the recommendedfuel. Keeping tanks full reduces water

condensation and helps keep fuelcool, which is important to engineperformance. Full tanks also reducethe chance for microbe (black slime)growth. For fuel recommendations,refer to section D. How to Select FuelOil in the How To section of thisguide. Make sure the fuel shutoffvalve (if used) is open.

NOTICE:Do not use the engine startingsystem to prime the fuel systembefore initial engine start. This canresult in damage to the starter, fuelpump and injectors tips and maycause erratic engine operation dueto the amount of air in the lines andfilters from the fuel supply tank tothe cylinder head.Engines equipped with startingdevices dependent on compressedair or gas reservoirs should alwaysbe primed before initial startup.Otherwise, reserve pressure canbe exhausted and injectors may bedamaged from lack of lubricationand cooling.Under no circumstances shoulda starting aid such as ether beused to run the engine until thefuel system is primed. Injector tipdamage will result if this methodis used.

SERIES 40 ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE

NOTICE:Starting an engine taken out ofstorage or one recently overhauledwithout first priming the fuel systemwill result in an overload conditionthat can damage the injector tips.To avoid injector tip damage, thefuel system must be primed beforeinitial engine startup.

If the engine is equipped with afuel/water separator, drain off anywater that has accumulated. Waterin fuel can seriously affect engineperformance and may cause enginedamage. Detroit Diesel recommendsinstallation of a fuel/water separatorwherever water contamination is aconcern.

If previously disconnected, reconnectcharge air cooler piping to valvecover/intake manifold.

To insure prompt starting, evenrunning and avoid injector tip damage,the fuel system must be primed beforeinitial engine start. Use this procedure:

NOTE:Authorized Detroit Diesel serviceoutlets are properly equipped andhave the trained technicians to performthis service.

NOTICE:Failure to disconnect the CMP(camshaft position sensor) beforepriming the engine may allow theengine to start during priming,which could result in severe enginedamage.

1. Disconnect the CMP (camshaftposition sensor) to prevent theengine from starting.

2. Using the manual priming pumpon the fuel filter header, fill thesystem with clean fuel until theprimer pump is hard to depress.

3. Crank the engine three times for15 seconds each. Reapply theprimer pump after each crankcycle.

4. Once the primer pump is hard todepress (usually three crank andhand prime cycles), reconnect theCMP.

Other Checks

Check the hydrometer “eye” ofmaintenance-free batteries for charge.See Figure 9.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Figure 9 Check “Eye” ofMaintenance-FreeBatteries

If lead-acid or low-maintenancebatteries are used, make sure batteryelectrolyte level is normal.

Make sure cable connections to thestorage batteries are clean and tight.

Check the turbocharger for signs ofoil or exhaust leaks. Leaks should becorrected before starting the engine.

Check engine mounting bolts fortightness. Bolts should be retightened,if necessary.

Make sure the transmission isfilled to the proper level with thefluid recommended by the gearmanufacturer. Do not overfill.

Check drive belts to make sure theyare in good condition (not cracked,torn, worn or glazed).

Starting the EngineBefore starting the engine the firsttime, refer to section Preparations forStarting the Engine the First Time inthe Operating Instructions sectionand perform the operations listed.

To avoid injury from flames,explosion, and toxicants whenusing ether, the followingprecautions must be taken:

□ Do not smoke when servicingether system.

□ Work in well-ventilated area.

□ Do not work near open flames,pilot flames (gas or oilheaters), or sparks.

□ Do not weld or carry an openflame near the ether system ifyou smell ether or otherwisesuspect a leak.

The engine may require the use of acold weather starting aid if the ambienttemperature is below 40 °F (4 °C).

Engine Diagnostic Button

The engine diagnostic button, locatedon the vehicle dashboard, is usedto read faults detected by the ECM(electronic control module). TheECM will flash the CEL (check enginelight) to warn of problems with theengine, oil, or coolant and indicateswhich faults have been detected.

Depress and hold the engine diagnosticbutton. Turn the ignition switch tothe ON position and then releasethe engine diagnostic button. DONOT START THE ENGINE. TheECM will begin the self-test tocheck the sensor output circuits. If afault is detected, the CEL will flashrepeatedly, signaling the action faultcode. Additional information on theengine diagnostic button is availablein the Series 40 TroubleshootingManual, 6SE241, available fromauthorized Detroit Diesel distributors.

Initial Engine Start

Diesel engine exhaust and someof its constituents are known tothe State of California to causecancer, birth defects, and otherreproductive harm.

□ Always start and operate anengine in a well ventilatedarea.

□ If operating an engine inan enclosed area, vent theexhaust to the outside.

□ Do not modify or tamperwith the exhaust system oremission control system.

Electric Starter – Start an engineequipped with an electric startingmotor as follows:

1. Set the parking brake and placethe transmission in NEUTRAL. Ifan automatic transmission, placeit in PARK or NEUTRAL.

2. Depress the clutch pedal, ifequipped. Do not depress theaccelerator pedal.

4. As soon as the engine starts,release the key or starter button,if applicable.

NOTE:If the engine fails to start within 15seconds, release the starter switch andallow the starter to cool for 15 secondsbefore trying again. If the enginefails to start after four attempts or ifit starts and then stops immediately,an inspection should be made todetermine the cause.

Air Starter – Because of the limitedvolume of most compressed airstorage tanks and the relatively shortduration of the cranking cycle, it isimportant to make sure the engine isready to start before activating the airstarter. Start an engine equipped withan air starter as follows:

1. Check the pressure in the airstorage tank. If necessary, add air

to bring the pressure up to at leastthe recommended minimum forstarting.

2. With foot OFF the foot pedal,turn the ignition key to the startposition and press and hold thestarter button until the enginestarts.

NOTE:If the engine fails to start after fourattempts or if it starts and stopsimmediately, an inspection should bemade to determine the cause.

Emergency Jump Starting

To avoid injury from batteryexplosion when jump starting theengine, do not attach the cableend to the negative terminal ofthe disabled battery.

The Series 40 engine ECM (electroniccontrol module) operates on either12 or 24 volts. When jump startingan engine, do not exceed 18 volts fora 12–volt system or 32 volts for a24–volt system.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

8. After the engine starts, removejumper cables in reverse order ofattachment.

Running the Engine

Oil Pressure

Observe the oil pressure gageimmediately after starting the engine.A good indicator that all moving partsare getting lubrication is when the oilpressure gage exceeds 137 kPa (20psi) after starting. If oil pressure isless than this or if no oil pressure isindicated, stop the engine, check forthe cause and correct the condition.

After the engine has reached operatingtemperature, the oil pressure shouldbe 276 kPa (40 psi) minimum. If oilpressure does not meet this minimum,stop the engine, check for the causeand correct the condition.

To avoid injury from hot oil, donot operate the engine with therocker cover(s) removed.

Warm-up

Run the engine at part throttle forabout five minutes to allow it to warmup before applying a load.

Inspection

Transmission – While the engineis idling, check the automatictransmission (if equipped) for properoil level and add oil as required.

Fluid Leaks – Look for coolant,fuel or lubricating oil leaks. If anyare found, shut down the engineimmediately and have the leaksrepaired after the engine has cooled.

Crankcase – If the engine oil wasreplaced, stop the engine after normaloperating temperature has beenreached. Allow the oil to drainback into the crankcase for abouttwenty minutes, then check the oillevel. If necessary, add oil to bringthe level to the proper mark on thedipstick. Use only the heavy-duty oilsrecommended. Refer to section A.How to Select Lubricating Oil in thisguide.

Turbocharger – Make a visualinspection of the turbocharger foroil leaks, exhaust leaks, excessivenoise or vibration. Stop the engineimmediately if a leak or unusual noiseor vibration is noted. Do not restartthe engine until the cause of theconcern has been investigated andcorrected. Authorized Detroit Dieselservice outlets are properly equippedto perform this service.

SERIES 40 ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE

Avoid Unnecessary Idling

Whenever possible, avoid unnecessaryidling.

During long engine idling periodswith the transmission in neutral, theengine coolant temperature may fallbelow the normal operating range.The incomplete combustion of fuelin a cold engine will cause crankcaseoil dilution, formation of lacquer orgummy deposits on the valves, pistons,and rings, and rapid accumulation ofsludge in the engine. When prolongedidling is necessary, maintain at least850 rpm spring/summer and 1200 rpmfall/winter.

Stopping the Engine

Normal Stopping

Stop an engine under normal operatingconditions as follows:

1. Reduce engine speed to idle andput all shift levers in the neutralposition.

NOTICE:Stopping a turbocharged engineimmediately after high-speedoperation without allowing asufficient cool-down period maycause damage to the turbocharger,as it will continue to turn without anoil supply to the bearings.

2. Allow the engine to run betweenidle and 1000 rpm with no loadfor four or five minutes. Thisallows the engine to cool andpermits the turbocharger to slowdown. After four or five minutes,shut down the engine.

Shutdown Warning Lightand BuzzerVehicles may be equipped with anautomatic engine shutdown systemthat will stop the engine in the event ofhigh coolant temperature, low coolantlevel, or low engine oil pressure. TheSEL (stop engine light) and alarmbuzzer and light on the instrumentpanel alert the operator of high coolanttemperature, low coolant level, orlow oil pressure conditions. Shouldtemperature or pressure continue tochange beyond the warning point to apredetermined level, the engine willautomatically shut down.

NOTICE:To avoid engine damage when theoverride feature is selected, theengine should be run no longer thanis absolutely necessary.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Road OperationTo receive satisfactory engineperformance with maximum fueleconomy, the following generalguidelines should be followed whenoperating the vehicle:

□ Start the vehicle in motion byusing the highest gear speed in thetransmission that will move theload without slipping the clutch.

□ Once in motion, acceleratesmoothly and evenly toengine rated speed. Rapidacceleration will result in highfuel consumption with no increasein performance.

□ To avoid “lugging,” do not allowengine speed to drop below peaktorque when pulling at full throttle.

□ When approaching a hill, depressthe accelerator smoothly to startthe climb at full power, thenshift down as needed to maintainmaximum permitted vehiclespeed, depending on conditions.

NOTICE:Do not allow the engine tooverspeed when descending agrade with a load. Operating theengine beyond high idle speed cancause severe damage.

□ Prevent overspeeding of the enginewhen descending a long and steepgrade. The electronic governorhas no control over engine speedwhen it is being pushed by theloaded vehicle. Operate in a gearthat will permit an engine speednot in excess of high idle rpm.

Cold Weather OperationObserve the following instructionsbefore operating the engine intemperatures of 32 °F (0 °C):

1. Ensure batteries are of sufficientsize and are fully charged. Checkthat all other electrical equipmentis in optimum condition.

2. Fill the cooling system withrequired coolant. Periodicallycheck level and top off, ifnecessary. Refer to section G.How to Select Coolant in thisguide.

3. At the end of each day's operation,allow the engine to cool andthen drain the water from thefuel/water separator, if equipped.Fill the fuel tank with requiredfuel to prevent condensation.Refer to section D. How to SelectFuel Oil in this guide.

4. Use the proper lubricating oilfor the ambient temperaturesencountered. Refer to section A.How to Select Lubricating Oil

in this guide. Check the lube oillevel at the start of each day andtop off, if necessary.

5. At temperatures between 10 °F(–12 °C ) and 20 °F (–7 °C), DDCrecommends using an ether-startkit and block heater. An on/offfan is also recommended.

6. At temperatures below 20 °F (–7°C), an ether-start kit, coolantheater and oil pan heater arerequired. Contact an authorizedDetroit Diesel distributor aboutspecial cold weather equipmentand precautions.

Hot Weather OperationObserve the following instructionsbefore operating the engine in hotweather.

1. Ensure the battery has the properamount of electrolyte in eachcell, if not a maintenance–freebattery. Top off cells with distilledwater, or as per manufacturer'sinstructions.

2. Fill the cooling system withrequired coolant. Periodicallycheck level and top off, ifnecessary. Refer to section G.How to Select Coolant in thisguide.

3. At the end of each day's operation,allow the engine to cool andthen drain the water from the

fuel/water separator, if equipped.Fill the fuel tank with requiredfuel to prevent condensation.Refer to section D. How to SelectFuel Oil in this guide.

4. Keep the external surfaces of theengine, radiator and accessoriesclean to avoid dirt buildup, whichcould lead to engine overheating.

Extended Idling PeriodsAvoid extended idling, especiallyat low engine speeds. The low idlespeed for Series 40 vehicle enginesis 700 rpm, while the low idle forconstruction/industrial engines isnormally 800 rpm. If idling for longperiods is necessary, use the optionalelectronic fast idle feature. Dieselengine efficiency is improved whencylinder temperatures remain high.

If cylinder temperatures are too low,the following may occur:

1. Unburned fuel, which has thedark-colored appearance oflubricating oil, may seep fromthe exhaust manifold gasketsand vehicle exhaust systemconnections. This seepageis commonly called exhaust“slobber.”

2. Cylinder temperature will betoo low to allow completecombustion and unburned fuelwill wash lubricating oil from the

cylinder liners. The unburned fuelwill be carried into the lubricatingoil, causing fuel dilution.

3. Carbon deposits will form onfuel injector tips, causing nozzleplugging.

4. Carbon deposits will form on theturbine wheel of the turbocharger,reducing turbocharger efficiency.

A CAP (cold ambient protection)system has been added to the ECMsused on vehicles. This software aidsin engine warm-up and helps maintainoptimum engine heat during extendedidling periods.

After five (5) minutes of idle timewith the intake air temperature below32 °F (0 °C), the CAP will slowlyramp up the engine idle speed to900 rpm (engines with automatictransmissions) or 1400 rpm (engineswith manual transmissions). Enginespeed will increase or decrease toan rpm that will maintain a coolanttemperature of 160 °F (71 °C).

NOTE:The lower CAP rpm limit for engineswith automatic transmissionsminimizes the possibility of vehiclelurch, should the operator place theshift lever in gear without first applyingthe service brakes to lower the idlespeed to 700 rpm.

The cycle described above willcontinue until one or a combination ofany of the following occurs:

□ Engine load is greater than 25%.

□ Brake pedal is applied or brakeswitch fault is detected.

□ Clutch pedal is depressed or clutchpedal switch fault is detected(manual transmission).

□ Shift selector is moved fromneutral to forward or reverse range(automatic transmission).

□ PTO switch, also used forelectronic hand throttle, is turnedon.

□ Accelerator pedal is depressed oraccelerator pedal sensor fault isdetected.

□ Timed idle shutdown is enabled.

□ CTO (coolant temperature sensor)fault is detected.

□ AIT (ambient air intaketemperature) sensor fault isdetected.

SERIES 40 ENGINE SYSTEMS

SERIES 40 ENGINE SYSTEMS

Fuel SystemThe fuel system consists ofthe fuel pump, hydraulicallyactivated/electronically controlledunit injector assemblies, fuel pipes,fuel strainer and filter, and fuel lines.

Lubrication SystemThe lubrication system consists of theoil pump, oil cooler, oil strainer andfilter, bypass and pressure regulatorvalves, oil temperature control valve,and lubricating oil lines.

Cooling SystemThe cooling system consists ofa centrifugal-type fresh waterpump, full-blocking thermostat,charge air cooler, radiator, andthermo-modulated fan. The freshwater pump circulates coolant withinthe engine and through the oil cooler,radiator and air-to-air charge cooler.The thermostat installed in a recessin the left-front corner of the cylinderhead controls the flow of coolant,while the thermo-modulated fancontrols the flow of air through theradiator and charge cooler.

Electrical SystemThe electrical system consists ofthe starting motor, starting switch,

battery-charging alternator, storagebatteries and necessary wiring.

Air Induction SystemThe air induction system consists ofthe air cleaner, air-to-air charge cooler(some applications), compressor sideof the turbocharger, valve cover/intakemanifold and intake valves. Outsideair is drawn through the air cleanerand into the turbocharger where it iscompressed. It then flows through theair-to-air charge cooler, into the intakemanifold and into the cylinders whereit mixes with atomized fuel from theinjector nozzles.

Exhaust SystemThe exhaust system consists of theexhaust valves, exhaust manifold,turbine side of the turbocharger,exhaust piping and muffler. Hotexhaust gases flowing from theexhaust manifold into the exhaust riserdrive the turbocharger. Exhaust gasesthen pass through the muffler and outto atmosphere.

LUBRICATION AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCEINTERVALS

The following is intended as aguide for establishing preventivemaintenance intervals. Therecommendations given shouldbe followed as closely as possibleto obtain long life and optimumperformance from your engine.Maintenance intervals indicated aretime (hours) of actual operation.

The intervals shown apply only tothe maintenance functions described.These functions should be coordinatedwith other regularly scheduledmaintenance.

The “Daily” instructions apply toroutine or daily starting of the engine.They do not apply to a new engineor one that has been operated for aconsiderable period of time.

For new or stored engines, refer toRestoring an Engine to Service afterExtended Storage in this guide.

Preventive maintenance other than the“Daily” checks should be performedby authorized Detroit Diesel serviceoutlets. These outlets have the trainedpersonnel and special tools to properlyperform all services.

Item 1 – Lubricating OilCheck the oil level daily with theengine stopped. If the engine has

just been stopped and is warm, waitapproximately 20 minutes to allow theoil to drain back into the oil pan beforechecking. Add the proper grade of oilto maintain the correct level on thedipstick.

See Figure 11 for the current oil levelgage. When using this dipstick, keepthe oil level within the cross-hatchedarea.

Figure 11 Current Oil Level Gage

See Figure 12 for the former oil levelgage. When using this dipstick, keepthe oil level between the “Full” and“Add” lines.

LUBRICATION AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS

Refill the tank at the end of each day'soperation to prevent condensationfrom contaminating the fuel.Condensation formed in a partiallyfilled tank promotes the growth ofmicroorganisms that can clog fuelfilters and restrict fuel flow.

To avoid injury from improper useof chemicals, follow the chemicalmanufacturer’s usage, handling,and disposal instructions.Observe all manufacturer’scautions.

To prevent microbe growth,add a biocide to the fuel tankor primary fuel supply. Wateraccumulation can be controlled byusing additives containing methylcarbitol or butyl cellusolve. Followmanufacturer's usage, handling andsafety precautions.

Open the drain at the bottom of thefuel tank every 30,000 miles (48,000kilometers) or 300 hours for stationaryand industrial engines to drain off anywater and/or sediment.

Every 120,000 miles (192,000kilometers), 12 months, or 600hours for construction/industrialapplications tighten all fuel tankmountings and brackets. At the same

time, check the seal in the fuel tankcap, the breather hole in the cap andthe condition of the flexible fuellines. Repair or replace the parts, asnecessary.

NOTICE:Galvanized steel fuel tanks, fittings,pipes or supply lines should neverbe used, because the fuel reactschemically with the zinc coating toform powdery flakes that can quicklyclog the fuel filters and damage thefuel pump and injectors.

Item 3 – Fuel Lines,Flexible Hoses

Pre-Start Inspection

Leaks –Make a visual check for fuelleaks at all engine-mounted fuel linesand connections, and at the fuel tanksuction and return lines. Since fueltanks are susceptible to road hazards,leaks in this area may best be detectedby checking for an accumulation offuel under the tank.

SERIES 40 ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE

To avoid injury from fire, containand eliminate leaks of flammablefluids as they occur. Failure toeliminate leaks could result infire.

Leaks are not only detrimental tomachine operation, but they can alsoresult in added expense caused by theneed to replace lost fluids.

Hoses and Fittings– Check hosesdaily as part of the pre-start inspection.Examine hoses for leaks, and checkall fittings, clamps and ties carefully.Make sure hoses are not restingon or touching shafts, couplings,heated surfaces including exhaustmanifolds, any sharp edges, or otherobviously hazardous areas. Since allmachinery vibrates and moves to acertain extent, clamps and ties canfatigue with age. To ensure continuedproper support, inspect fastenersfrequently and tighten or replace themas necessary. If fittings have loosenedor cracked or if hoses have ruptured orworn through, take corrective actionimmediately.

Hose Service Life

A hose has a finite service life. Withthis in mind, all hoses should bethoroughly inspected at least every

500 operating hours (1,000 hoursfor fire-resistant fuel and lubricatingoil hoses) and/or annually. Lookfor cover damage and/or indicationsof twisted, worn, crimped, brittle,cracked or leaking lines. Hoses withtheir outer cover worn through or withdamaged metal reinforcements shouldbe considered unfit for further service.

All hoses in and out of machineryshould be replaced during majoroverhaul and/or after a maximum offive (5) years of service.

NOTE:Fire-resistant fuel and lube oil hoseassemblies do not require automaticreplacement after five years of serviceor at major overhaul, but should beinspected carefully before being putback into service.

LUBRICATION AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS

Item 4 – Cooling System

To avoid injury from the expulsionof hot coolant, never remove thecooling system pressure capwhile the engine is at operatingtemperature. Remove the capslowly to relieve pressure. Wearadequate protective clothing(face shield or safety goggles,rubber gloves, apron, and boots).

Coolant Level

The cooling system must be full forproper operation of the engine.

With the engine stopped, check thecoolant level daily and maintain itnear the bottom of the filler neck onthe radiator. On some installationsthis is done by checking an overflowbottle or sight glass. Add coolant asrequired, but do not overfill. Beforeadding coolant, refer to section G.How to Select Coolant in this guide.

Make a daily visual check forcooling system leaks. Look for anaccumulation of coolant when theengine is running and when it isstopped. Coolant leaks may be moreapparent on a engine when it is cold.

Coolant Inhibitors

NOTICE:Coolant must be inhibited with therecommended SCA's (supplementalcoolant additives) listed in thisguide. In addition, the enginecan be equipped with a coolantfilter/inhibitor system as aninstalled option or as an after-saleitem. Failure to check andmaintain SCA levels at requiredconcentrations will result insevere damage (corrosion) tothe engine cooling system andrelated components.

Check the coolant SCA (supplementalcoolant inhibitors) at the intervalslisted in Table 28. The inhibitorsin antifreeze solutions must bereplenished with a non-chromatecorrosion inhibitor supplement whenindicated. Refer to section G. How toSelect Coolant for required inhibitorlevels.

Figure 14 Check “Eye” ofMaintenance-FreeBatteries

Maintain the electrolyte levelaccording to the battery manufacturer'srecommendations, but do not overfill.Overfilling can cause poor batteryperformance or early failure.

Keep the terminal side of the batteryclean. When necessary, wash witha solution of baking soda and water.Rinse with fresh water. Do not allowthe soda solution to enter the cells.

Inspect the cables, clamps andhold-down brackets regularly. Cleanand reapply a light coating ofpetroleum jelly when needed. Havecorroded or damaged parts replaced.

If the engine is to be out of servicefor more than 30 days, remove thebatteries and store in a cool, dryplace. Keep batteries fully charged,

if possible. Replace any battery thatfails to hold a charge.

Periodically check battery connectionsfor corrosion and tightness. Ifnecessary, remove connectionsand wire brush any corrosion fromterminals and cable ends. Replacedamaged wiring.

Item 7– Drive BeltInspect the serpentine drive beltafter every oil change. Replace beltevery 100,000 miles (160,000 km)on vehicle engines or every 2,000hours on construction/industrial andstationary engines. Replace earlier ifbelt shows signs of excessive wear ordamage.

Always replace the drive belt with thequality belt specified for your engineto ensure the belt will be neither tootight nor too loose. A belt that istoo tight imposes extra loads on thecrankshaft, water pump, alternator andfan hub bearings, shortening both beltand bearing life. A loose belt will slipand may cause damage to accessorycomponents.

Before installing the drive belt, checkthe torque on the alternator andbracket mounting bolts. Retighten asrequired. The drive belt idler pulleyshould also be inspected whenever thebelt is removed. Refer to Item 26 –Idler Pulley.

Check torque on alternator mountingbolts and bracketing every 15,000miles (24,000 km) on coach engines orevery 300 hours on all other engines.Retighten, if necessary.

Alternator Precautions

Precautions must be taken whenworking on or around the alternator.The diodes and transistors in thealternator circuit are very sensitiveand can be easily destroyed.

To avoid injury from batteryexplosion or contact with batteryacid, work in a well-ventilatedarea, wear protective clothing,and avoid sparks or flamesnear the battery. Alwaysestablish correct polarity beforeconnecting cables to the batteryor battery circuit. If you come incontact with battery acid:

□ Flush your skin with water.

□ Apply baking soda or lime tohelp neutralize the acid.

□ Flush your eyes with water.

□ Get medical attentionimmediately.

1. Avoid grounding the outputterminal. Grounding analternator's output wire orterminal (which is always “hot,”regardless of whether or notthe engine is running) andaccidentally reversing the batterypolarity will result in equipmentdamage.

2. Do not reverse batteryconnections. This can alsocause damage.

3. Never disconnect the batterywhile the alternator is operating.

HOW-TO SECTION

This section covers Detroit Diesel'srecommendations on how to selectlubricating oil, fuel oil, and coolantand includes basic engine maintenanceprocedures which can be performedby the operator.

NOTICE:The manufacturer's warrantyapplicable to Series 40 enginesprovides in part that the provisionsof such warranty shall not applyto any engine unit that has beensubject to misuse, negligence oraccident. Accordingly, malfunctionsattributable to neglect or failure tofollow the manufacturer's fuel orlubricating recommendations maynot be within the coverage of thewarranty.

A. How to SelectLubricating Oil

Lubricant Selection in NorthAmerica

The selection of the proper lubricatingoil is important to achieve the longand trouble-free service which DetroitDiesel engines are designed toprovide. The proper lubricating oil forall Detroit Diesel engines is selectedbased on SAE viscosity grade andAPI (American Petroleum Institute)

service designation. Only oils licensedto display the API service mark shouldbe used. See Figure 22.

Lubricant Requirements

Figure 22 API Lubricant ServiceMark

API CI-4 or CH-4 oils arerecommended for use in all engines.

Engines Built Prior to 1998

Lubricants meeting API ServiceCategory CG-4 may be used inengines built prior to 1998 when APICI-4 or CH-4 oils are not available.

NOTE:The use of CG-4 oils in theseengines may require a reduction inoil drain interval, depending upon theapplication and the fuel sulfur level.

HOW-TO SECTION

Cold Weather Starting

At ambient temperatures below –4°F (–20 °C) when sufficient starterspeed cannot be achieved with SAE15W-40 oils, the use of 5W-XX oilsand 10W-XX oils, where XX is 30 or40, is allowed to improve startability,provided they are API CI-4 or APICI-4 or CH-4 and have demonstratedfield performance in DDC engines.These oils must possess a HT/HS of3.7 minimum.

NOTICE:

Monograde oils should notbe used in Series 40 engines,regardless of API serviceclassification. Monograde oilsgel at lower ambient temperatures,reducing lubricant flow, andthey do not provide adequatelubricity at higher engine operatingtemperatures. These factors canresult in severe engine damage.

When the use of high sulfur fuel(greater than 0.05% mass sulfur) isunavoidable, high alkalinity (TBN)lubricants are recommended. Highsulfur fuels require modificationto oil drain intervals. For furtherinformation, refer to publicationEngine Requirements – LubricatingOil, Fuel and Filters, 7SE270,

available from authorized DetroitDiesel distributors.

The Use of SupplementalAdditives

Lubricants meeting the DetroitDiesel specifications outlined in thispublication already contain a balancedadditive treatment. Supplementaladditives are generally not necessaryand can even be harmful. Theseadditives may be marketed as eitheroil treatments or engine treatmentsand are discouraged from use inDetroit Diesel engines. Enginedamage resulting from the use ofsuch materials is not covered byyour Detroit Diesel Corporationwarranty. Detroit Diesel will notprovide statements beyond thispublication relative to their use.

B. When to Change Oil

Oil Drain Intervals

To avoid injury from contact withthe contaminants in used engineoil, wear protective gloves andapron.

The length of time an engine mayoperate before an oil change dependsupon the lubricant and fuel used,engine oil consumption, and theoperating cycle. The maximum

interval at which the engine mayoperate before the oil and filtersmust be changed is listed in Table23. Oil analysis may be used todetermine whether this interval shouldbe shortened, but it should not be usedto lengthen the interval.

The use of fuels with sulfur contentabove 0.05 mass percent will requirea shortening of drain intervals and/orthe use of a higher TBN oil. Seethe information listed in Table 23.For detailed information refer topublication Engine Requirements –Lubricating Oil, Fuel and Filters(7SE270), available from authorizedDetroit Diesel distributors.

Engine Application Drain IntervalMotor Coach, City Transit Coach 12,000 Miles (19,200 km)

Fire Truck or Crash/Rescue Vehicle 6,000 Miles (9,600 km), 300 Hours or1 Year, whichever comes first

Construction, Industrial or Agriculture 150 Hours, 4,500 Miles (7,200 km) or1 year, whichever comes first

HOW-TO SECTION

Diesel engine exhaust and someof its constituents are known tothe State of California to causecancer, birth defects, and otherreproductive harm.

□ Always start and operate anengine in a well ventilatedarea.

□ If operating an engine inan enclosed area, vent theexhaust to the outside.

□ Do not modify or tamperwith the exhaust system oremission control system.

8. Start and run the engine for a shortperiod and check for leaks. Afterleaks have been corrected, stopthe engine long enough for oilfrom various parts of the engineto drain back to the crankcase(approximately 20 minutes). Addoil as required to bring the level tothe “Full” or “Operating Range”mark on the dipstick.

NOTICE:If the engine oil level is constantlyabove normal and excess lubeoil has not been added to thecrankcase, consult with anauthorized Detroit Diesel serviceoutlet for the cause. Fuel or coolantdilution of lube oil can result insevere engine damage.

D. How to Select Fuel Oil

Quality

Fuel quality is an important factorin obtaining satisfactory engineperformance, long engine life, andacceptable exhaust emission levels.Detroit Diesel engines are designed tooperate on most diesel fuels marketedtoday.

In general, fuels meeting theproperties of ASTM designationD 975 (grades 1-D and 2-D) haveprovided satisfactory performance.

The fuels used must be clean,completely distilled, stable, andnon-corrosive. For more informationregarding the significance of theseproperties and selection of the properfuel, refer to publication, EngineRequirements – Lubricating Oil, Fueland Filters (7SE270), available fromauthorized Detroit Diesel distributors.

SERIES 40 ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE

Fuel Contamination

Generally, fuel contaminationoccurs as the result of improper fuelhandling. The most common typesof contamination are water, dirt, andmicrobial growth (“black slime”).The formation of varnishes andgums resulting from poor stability orextended storage (“stale fuel”) alsoaffects fuel quality. The best treatmentfor contamination is prevention bymaintaining a clean fuel storagesystem and choosing a reputable fuelsupplier.

Supplemental additives are notrecommended due to potentialinjector system or engine damage.Our experience has been that suchadditives increase operating costswithout providing benefit.

The use of supplemental fuel additivesdoes not necessarily void the enginewarranty. However, repair expenseswhich result from fuel system orengine component malfunctionsor damage attributed to theiruse will not be covered. Theseproducts should be accompanied byperformance data supporting theirmerit. It is not the policy of DetroitDiesel Corporation to test, evaluate,approve or endorse such products.

Prohibited Additives

The following fuel additives are notallowed and MUST NOT be mixedwith diesel fuel:

Used Lubricating Oil — DetroitDiesel specifically prohibits theuse of used lubricating oil in dieselfuel. Used lubricating oil containscombustion acids and particulatematerials which can severely erodefuel injector components, resulting inloss of power and increased exhaustemissions. In addition, the use ofdrained lubricating oil will increasemaintenance requirements due to filterplugging and combustion deposits.

Gasoline —

To avoid increased risk of a fuelfire, do not mix gasoline anddiesel fuel.

The addition of gasoline to dieselfuel will create a serious fire hazard.

The presence of gasoline in diesel fuelwill reduce fuel cetane number andincrease combustion temperatures.Tanks which contain such mixturesshould be drained and cleaned as soonas possible.

17. Restart the engine and check forleaks. Shut down the engine.Correct any leaks with the engineoff.

NOTE:The filter cover will not fill completelyduring engine operation. It willgradually fill over time, and the fuellevel will rise as the filter mediumbecomes clogged. The filter elementdoes not require changing untilthe fuel level has risen to the topof the element, or after one year ofservice, whichever comes first.

F. Engine Out of Fuel —How to Restart

NOTICE:Under no circumstances shouldthe starting motor and fuel pumpbe used to prime the fuel filters.Prolonged used of the starting motorand fuel pump to prime the fuelsystem can result in damage to thestarter, fuel pump and injectors andcause erratic running of the enginedue to the amount of air in the fuellines and filters.

When an engine has run out of fuel,there is a definite procedure to followwhen restarting it.

Spin-On Filter — Use the followingprocedure for an engine with a spin-onfilter.

1. Fill the fuel tank with therecommended grade of fuel. Ifonly partial filling is possible,add a minimum of 10 gallons (38liters) of fuel to the tank.

2. Close the fuel shutoff valve (ifinstalled) on the filter header andremove the spin-on fuel filter. Fillwith clean fuel through the fuelinlet holes (the outer ring of smallholes on the element) to insurethe fuel is filtered. Thread theelement onto the filter header untilthe gasket makes full contact withthe header and no side movementis evident. Tighten filter anadditional one-half turn by hand,or as indicated on the filter.

3. Open the fuel shutoff valve (ifinstalled).

NOTICE:Failure to disconnect the CMP(camshaft position sensor) beforepriming the engine may allow theengine to start during priming,which could result in severe enginedamage.

4. Prime the fuel system as follows:

to prevent the engine fromstarting.

[b] Operate the manual primerpump on the filter header untilthe primer pump is hard todepress. See Figure 25.

[c] Crank the engine three timesfor 15 seconds each. Reapplythe primer pump after eachcrank cycle.

[d] Once the primer pump ishard to depress (usually threecrank and hand prime cycles),reconnect the CMP.

NOTICE:To avoid starter damage, do notcrank the engine longer than15 seconds at a time. Allow a15-second starter cool down intervalbetween starting attempts.

5. Start the engine and check forleaks.

Fuel Pro Filters — Use the followingprocedure for an engine with Fuel Profilters.

1. Remove the vent cap fromthe top of the filter by turningcounter-clockwise. Fill the coverfull of clean fuel. After makingsure the O-ring seal is installed onthe vent plug, reinstall the plugand tighten by hand only.

NOTICE:To avoid cover or vent cap damage,do not use tools to tighten the ventcap.

NOTICE:Do not allow the fuel level in thesee-thru cover to fall below the topof the collar, since this may leadto interruption of the fuel flow andengine stalling.

2. Start the engine and allow thelubrication system to reach itsnormal operating pressure, thenincrease engine speed to high idlefor 2 to 3 minutes. After the air ispurged and with the engine stillrunning, loosen the vent cap onthe filter cover. the fuel level inthe cover will start falling. Whenthe fuel level falls to the top ofthe collar on the Fuel Pro cover,tighten the vent cap quickly byhand.

NOTE:If the engine fails to start afterreplacement of fuel filters, the fuelsystem will require priming with toolJ 5956 or equivalent. AuthorizedDetroit Diesel distributors are properlyequipped to perform this service.

G. How to Select Coolant

Definitions

This section covers selection ofthe required coolant for Series 40engines. To help ensure completeunderstanding of the information, thedefinitions of the following terms areprovided:

Antifreeze — Ethylene glycolor propylene glycol containing acorrosion inhibitor package and whichmeets an appropriate heavy-dutyspecification (i.e., TMC RP-329 forethylene glycol or TMC RP-330 forpropylene glycol).

Coolant — The fluid mixturecirculating in the engine coolingsystem, typically a mixture of 50%water and 50% antifreeze.

Drop–Out — Precipitated sludge ordeposit formation on cooling systemcomponents.

Fully Formulated Antifreeze —Contains all the necessary inhibitorsto protect a diesel engine, and doesnot, therefore, require a pre-charge ofSCA before its first use.

Initial–Fill Coolant — The coolantthat is used in a new or rebuilt engine,or any time the cooling system isemptied and then refilled with coolant.

OAT — Organic Acid Technology.An inhibitor system based on

organic acid inhibitors, instead oftraditional North American inhibitorformulations.

SCA — Supplemental CoolantAdditive. SCAs are used in apreventive maintenance program toprevent corrosion, cavitation, and theformation of deposits.

Approved Coolants

NOTICE:Required specifications for water,ethylene glycol, propylene glycol,inhibitor packages and inhibitorconcentration are included inthis section. To avoid possibleengine damage from inadequateor overconcentrated coolant,this information should be readthoroughly before the coolant isreplaced.

The approved and preferredcoolants for Series 40 enginesare listed in Table 24. Once installed,these coolants should be maintainedaccording to the procedures discussedunderMaintenance in this section.

HOW-TO SECTION

If a pre-diluted, fully formulatedcoolant is purchased, simply fill thecooling system. For best overallperformance, a coolant consistingof 50% concentration of antifreeze(50% antifreeze, 50% water) isrecommended.

An antifreeze concentration over67% (67% antifreeze, 33% water) isnot recommended due to poor heattransfer, reduced freeze protection(IEG only), and possible silicatedropout. An antifreeze concentrationbelow 33% (33% antifreeze, 67%water) offers too little freeze and/or

corrosion protection and is notrecommended.

See Figure 27 for ethylene glycol-basecoolant concentration versus freezingand boiling temperatures. See Figure28 for propylene glycol-base coolantconcentration versus freezing andboiling temperatures.

Always verify that the freeze pointand nitrite concentration of theantifreeze/water mixture are correctby using a POWER Trac® 3–WayCoolant Test Strip. If chemicalanalysis is used, elements in thecoolant must fall within the limitslisted in Table 25.

Recycled Antifreeze — Antifreezeor coolant recycled by reverseosmosis, distillation, and ionexchange, properly re-inhibitedto meet TMC RP-329 Type A orTMC RP-330 Type A requirements,has been demonstrated to provide

service equivalent to virgin antifreeze.Recycled antifreeze or coolants ofthese types are preferred. Otherrecycled coolants, especially coolantsrecycled through filtration processes,are not recommended.

SERIES 40 ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE

Ethylene Glycol/Water +OAT Inhibitor or PropyleneGlycol/Water + OAT Inhibitor —Ethylene glycol and propyleneglycol are also available with a(Organic Acid Technology) corrosionpackage. These coolants require lessmaintenance over the useful life of theengine. OAT coolants, maintained asdetailed in the Maintenance sectionof this guide, may be operated up to4 years, 600,000 miles (960,000 km),or 10,000 operating hours, whichevercomes first. Refer to sectionMaintenance. The cooling systemshould either be equipped with a“blank” coolant filter, or the coolantfilter and piping may be omitted fromthe system.

OAT fully formulated antifreezesare available as concentrated andpre-mixed. Concentrated antifreezesshould be mixed 50% (50% antifreeze,50% water).

OAT coolants should not be mixedwith conventional coolants. If theyare mixed, no damage will result, butthe long-life advantages of the OATcoolant will be lost. In this event,the coolant should be maintained as afully formulated IEG coolant, not asan OAT (Organic Acid Technology)coolant.

Detroit Diesel markets a OAT-inhibited ethylene glycol coolant,DDC Power Cool Plus, whichcontains all the required additives.

If a non-DDC OAT antifreeze isused, it must conform to TMC 338specification. Do not add extender tonew OAT antifreeze or coolant.

Water Only + SCA or WaterOnly + OAT Inhibitor — Inwarm climates a coolant basedon water with corrosion inhibitorsis approved for use. Water-onlysystems need to be treated with theproper dosage of corrosion inhibitors.Detroit Diesel-approved SCAs orOAT corrosion inhibitors must beadded to the water to provide requiredcorrosion and cavitation erosionprotection. OAT inhibitors such asPower Cool Plus 6000 are availablefor water-only systems. Inhibitorshould be mixed at 7.5% – 10% byvolume with water. For a list of PowerCool products, refer to section PowerCool Engine Products in this guide.Traditional SCA (Power Cool 3000)can also be used to protect the engine.Power Cool 3000 concentration limitsare listed in Table 26.

NOTICE:Do not add additional SCA tonew, fully formulated antifreeze orcoolant. This can result in dropoutand/or the formation of deposits.

Coolants Not Recommended

The following coolants are notrecommended for use in Detroit Dieselengines:

1. All antifreezes and coolantscontaining phosphate arenot recommended. Drop out,overheating and water pump sealfailures can result from the useof coolant or inhibitor packagesbased on phosphate.

2. Automotive type coolantsgenerally contain high levels ofphosphate and silicate, offer noliner pitting protection, and arenot suitable for use in DetroitDiesel engines.

3. Methyl alcohol-based antifreezemust not be used because ofits effect on the non-metalliccomponents of the cooling systemand its low boiling point.

4. Methoxy propanol-basedantifreeze must not be usedbecause it is not compatible withthe fluoroelastomer seals found inthe cooling system.

5. Glycol-based coolants formu-lated for heating/ventilation/airconditioning (HVAC) should notbe used. These coolants generallycontain high levels of phosphates,which can deposit on hot internalengine surfaces and reduce heattransfer.

Additives Not Recommended

The following additives are notrecommended for use in Series 40engines:

1. Soluble oil additives are notapproved for use in Detroit Dieselengine cooling systems. A smallamount of oil adversely affectsheat transfer. For example, a1.25% concentration of solubleoil increases fire deck temperature6%. A 2.50% concentrationincreases fire deck temperature15%. The use of soluble oiladditives may result in engineoverheating and/or failure.

2. Chromate additives are notapproved for use in DetroitDiesel engine cooling systems.Chromate additives can formchromium hydroxide, commonlycalled “green slime.” This,in turn, can result in enginedamage due to poor heat transfer.Cooling systems operated withchromium-inhibited coolant mustbe chemically cleaned with Power

Nitrite levels must be within theranges listed in Table 25.

NOTICE:Failure to properly maintain coolantwith SCA can result in damageto the cooling system and itsrelated components. Conversely,over-concentration of SCA inhibitorcan result in poor heat transfer,leading to engine damage.Always maintain concentrations atrecommended levels. Do not usetraditional SCAs with OAT coolant.

Additional SCA must be added to thecoolant when it becomes depleted, asindicated by a nitrite concentrationof 900 PPM or less. If the nitriteconcentration is greater than 900PPM, do not add additional SCA. Ifthe nitrite concentration is above 3200PPM, the system is over-inhibited andshould be partially drained and filledwith a 50/50 mix of water and EG orPG.

In this case the EG or PG shouldcontain no inhibitors and shouldconform to ASTM D4985. Thiswill dilute the over-concentratedinhibitors.

NOTE:In non-OAT systems, nitriteconcentration of 5000 PPM orhigher on a Series 40 enginesuggests problematic additive

over-concentration. This conditionmust be corrected by immediatedraining and flushing of the coolingsystem. Refill the system with new fullyformulated or pre-charged coolant.Check the nitrite concentration level atthe next maintenance interval with aPower Trac 3–Way Test Strip.

SCA Test Procedures

Detroit Diesel Power Trac 3–WayCoolant Test Strips should beused to measure nitrite andglycol concentrations. Partnumbers are listed in Table 55.Cavitation/corrosion is indicatedon the strip by the level of nitriteconcentration. Freeze/boil overprotection is determined by glycolconcentration.

To avoid injury from the expulsionof hot coolant, never remove thecooling system pressure capwhile the engine is at operatingtemperature. Remove the capslowly to relieve pressure. Wearadequate protective clothing(face shield or safety goggles,rubber gloves, apron, and boots).

For best results make the test whilethe coolant is between 50° – 140 °F(10.0° – 60 °C). Wait at least 60, butnot longer than 75, seconds beforereading the nitrite level. Use the teststrips as follows:

1. Dip the strip into coolant forone second. Remove and shakebriskly to eliminate excess fluid.

2. Immediately compare the pad end(% glycol) to the color chart onthe container.

3. Sixty seconds (one minute) afterdipping, compare the nitrite padto the color chart.

4. Color change of the additiveindicator (middle pad) indicatesthe presence of inhibitor that isnot approved by Detroit Diesel.

Promptly replace and tighten the teststrip container cap after each use.

Discard unused strips if they haveturned light pink or tan.

A factory coolant analysis programis available through authorizedDetroit Diesel service outlets. Partnumbers are listed in Table 55 in theSpecifications section. To verifycoolant acceptability, submit a samplefor coolant analysis every two (2)years, 300,000 miles (480,000 km),or 10,000 operating hours, whichevercomes first.

Need Release Coolant Filters(Non-OAT Systems)

Spin-on coolant filters are available forDetroit Diesel engines. Membranesin the filters release SCAs beforethe coolant approaches a corrosivecondition, protecting the engine fromcorrosion. The elements release theSCA charge as needed, as opposed tothe maintenance SCA elements, whichinstantaneously release the SCAcharge. Coolant filter elements shouldbe replaced after one (1) year, 120,000miles (192,000 km) or 2,000 operatinghours, whichever comes first.

SERIES 40 ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE

Dropout

Excessive amounts of some inhibitorsin the coolant can cause a gel orcrystalline deposit that reduces heattransfer and coolant flow. The deposit,called “dropout,” takes the color ofthe coolant when wet, but appears as awhite or gray powder when dry. It canpick up solid particles in the coolantand become gritty, causing excessivewear of water pump seals and othercooling system components.

To avoid injury when usingcaustic cleaning agents, followthe chemical manufacturersusage, disposal, and safetyinstructions.

The wet gel can be removed byusing a non-acid (alkali) typeheavy-duty cleaner, such as DetroitDiesel Power Cool On-Line Cleaner(sodium nitrite/sodium tetraborate).Refer to section POWER COOLCOOLING SYSTEM CLEANERSfor part numbers.

NOTE:If the gel is allowed to dry, it isnecessary to disassemble theengine and clean it with a causticsolution or physically clean individualcomponents.

Coolant Extender InhibitorAdditive for “OAT” Coolant

The inhibitors in OAT coolant mustalso be maintained, but less oftenthan traditional SCA-type coolants.A portable test is available to test thelevels of OAT inhibitors in coolant.Where this is not used, fleet testinghas determined that a OAT coolantextender package should be added tothe coolant at 300,000 miles (480,000km), two (2) years, or 5,000 hours,whichever comes first. The propermaintenance dosages for all OATcoolants are listed in Table 29 ,reflecting 0.6% by volume extender.This dosage should be added to thewater-only and the glycol systems atthe same interval.

The proper application of extender toOAT coolant will provide:

□ pH Control

□ Restored inhibitor levels to preventcorrosion

□ Cavitation protection to protectwet sleeve cylinder liners

NOTE:Do not use traditional SCAs inOAT coolant, and do not useOAT extender in traditional coolant.

Chronic Coolant SystemProblems

The most commonly seen coolantsystem problems result frommaintenance and formulation factorssuch as:

□ Hard water

□ Dilution of the coolant by theaddition of untreated water

□ Over dosage or under dosage ofcorrosion inhibitors

□ Improper corrosion inhibitor (mostoften phosphated)

□ Mixing SCAs

□ Improper testing

Detroit Diesel Cooling SystemMaintenance Products

Power Cool SCAs — Power CoolSCAs are water-soluble chemicalcompounds. These products areavailable in coolant filter elements,liquid packages, and in fullyformulated Power Cool antifreeze.

NOTE:Power Cool 3000 liquid SCA is morecompatible with hard water thanPower Cool 2000 SCA.

Power Cool Coolant FilterElements — Power Cool coolantfilter elements (spin-on canisters) areavailable in various sizes suitable forcooling systems of varying capacities.Selection of the proper element sizeis vital when pre-charging non-fullyformulated coolant at initial fill andat maintenance intervals. A fullyformulated antifreeze must nothave SCA added at initial fill. Donot use SCA-containing filterswith OAT antifreeze or coolant.The need for maintenance elementsis determined by the results of thenitrite concentration test performedat each cooling system interval. Donot automatically install maintenanceelements at maintenance intervals,unless the nitrite concentration fallsbelow 900 parts per million.

Power Cool Cleaners — PowerCool Liquid On-Line Cleaner is usedfor light deposits. Power Cool DryChemical Cleaner/Conditioner is usedfor heavy deposits or scale.

Summary of CoolantRecommendations

To avoid injury from the expulsionof hot coolant, never remove thecooling system pressure capwhile the engine is at operatingtemperature. Remove the capslowly to relieve pressure. Wearadequate protective clothing(face shield or safety goggles,rubber gloves, apron, and boots).

1. Always maintain the enginecoolant to meet Detroit Dieselspecifications.

2. Only use water that meets thespecifications listed in Table 27.Distilled, de-mineralized (reverseosmosis) or de-ionized water ispreferred.

3. The proper dosage of inhibitorsmust be included in the coolantat initial fill for all Detroit Dieselengines. This dosage is usuallyincluded in the fully formulatedantifreeze used, or it may need tobe added if water alone or if lessthan 50% antifreeze is used. Theuser is urged to refer to the fulltext of this section to determinethe proper dosage. Mixingof different manufacturers'

technologies (brands) could causecooling system problems.

4. Maintain the inhibitor at theprescribed concentration. Testthe nitrite concentration by usinga titration kit or Detroit DieselPower Trac 3-Way Coolant TestStrips. Add SCA only if the nitriteconcentration is below 900 PPM.Do not use SCA in OAT coolant,and do not use Power Trac 3-WayCoolant Test Strips to test OATcoolant.

NOTE:If the nitrite concentration exceeds3,200 PPM, the coolant must bedrained and replaced with newcoolant. A thorough cleaning of thecooling system may be required.

5. Do not use another manufacturer'stest kit to measure the SCAconcentration of Detroit Dieselmaintenance products.

6. Pre-mix coolant makeup solutionsto the proper concentration beforeadding to the cooling system.

7. Do not mix OAT and othercoolants in the same engine.

8. Do not use automotive coolants.

9. Where antifreeze/boil overprotection is required, use onlyantifreeze that meets TMCRP-329 “Type A” (EG) orTMC RP-330 “Type A” (PG)

ENGINE STORAGE

ENGINE STORAGE

Preparing Engine forStorageWhen an engine is to be stored orremoved from operation for a periodof time, special precautions shouldbe taken to protect the interior andexterior of the engine, transmissionand other parts from rust accumulationand corrosion. The parts requiringattention and the recommendedpreparations are given below.

All rust or corrosion should beremoved completely from anyexposed part before applying rustpreventive compound. Therefore,DDC recommends processing theengine for storage as soon as possibleafter removing it from service.

The engine should be stored ina building that is dry and can beheated during the winter months.Moisture-absorbing chemicals areavailable commercially for use whenexcessive dampness prevails in thestorage area.

Temporary Storage (30 Days orLess)

To protect the engine for a temporaryperiod of time (30 days or less), followthis procedure:

1. With the engine at ambienttemperature and cool to the touch,

drain engine crankcase oil into asuitable container. Dispose of theoil in an environmentally friendlymanner, according to state and/orfederal (EPA) recommendations.

2. Fill the crankcase to the properlevel with the recommendedviscosity and grade of oil.

3. Fill the fuel tank with therecommended grade of fuel oil.Operate the engine for two (2)minutes at 1200 rpm and no load.Do not drain the fuel system orthe crankcase after this run.

4. Check the air cleaner and serviceit, if necessary.

5. If freezing weather is expectedduring the storage period, checkthe antifreeze/coolant for requiredfreeze and inhibitor protection.Add antifreeze solution to thecooling system in accordancewith DDC's recommendations.Refer to section G. How to SelectCoolant.

NOTE:If an antifreeze solution is not requiredduring storage, flush the coolingsystem with a good, soluble oil (3% –5% by volume) rust inhibitor to preventrusting of the outside diameter of thecylinder liners.

To avoid injury from flying debriswhen using compressed air, wearadequate eye protection (faceshield or safety goggles) and donot exceed 40 psi (276 kPa) airpressure.

6. Clean the exterior of the engine(except electrical parts) with fueloil and dry with compressed air.

7. Seal all engine openings,including the turbocharger airand exhaust outlets and thevalve cover/intake manifoldopening. The material usedmust be waterproof, vaporproofand possess sufficient physicalstrength to resist puncture anddamage from the expansion ofentrapped air.

An engine prepared in this manner canbe returned to service in a short timeby removing the seals at the engineopenings and reconnecting piping; bychecking the engine coolant, fuel oil,lubricating oil and transmission oillevels; and by priming the fuel systembefore starting.

Extended Storage (More than 30Days)

To prepare an engine for extendedstorage (more than 30 days), followthis procedure:

1. Drain the cooling system andflush with clean, soft water. Refillwith clean, soft water and adda rust inhibitor to the coolingsystem.

2. Circulate the coolant by operatingthe engine until normal operatingtemperature is reached.

3. Stop the engine.

4. With the engine at ambienttemperature and cool to the touch,drain the engine crankcase oilinto a suitable container. Removethe oil filter. Dispose of the oiland filter in an environmentallyfriendly manner, accordingto state and/or federal (EPA)recommendations. Replace theoil drain plug and tighten to 45 –50 N·m (33 – 37 lb-ft) torque.

5. Install a new lubricating oilfilter. Fill the crankcase tothe proper level with Tectyl®930A preservative lubricatingoil or an equivalent 30–weightpreservative lubricating oilmeeting Mil-L-21260C, Grade 2Specification.

or pure kerosene to permit theengine to operate for about ten(10) minutes. If draining thefuel tank is not convenient, usea separate, portable supply ofrecommended fuel.

NOTE:If engines are stored wherecondensation of water in the fueltank may be a problem, additivescontaining methyl carbitol or butylcellusolve may be added to the fuel.Follow manufacturer's instructionsfor treatment. Where biologicalcontamination of fuel may be aproblem, add a biocide such asBiobor® JF (or equivalent) to thefuel. When using a biocide, followthe manufacturer's concentrationrecommendations and observe allcautions and warnings.

7. Drain the fuel system and removethe fuel filters. Dispose of usedfilters in an environmentallyresponsible manner, accordingto state and/or federal (EPA)recommendations. Fill the newfilters with No. 1 diesel fuel orpure kerosene and install on theengine. Prime the fuel system.

8. Start and operate the engine forfive (5) minutes to circulate theclean fuel throughout the systemand ensure the system is full.

9. Stop the engine and allow to cool.Then disconnect the fuel returnline and the inlet line at the fuelfilter and securely plug both toretain the fuel in the engine.

10. Transmission: Follow themanufacturer's recommendationsfor prolonged storage.

11. Power Take-Off: If equipped,follow manufacturer'srecommendations for prolongedstorage.

12. Apply a non-friction rustpreventive compound to allexposed engine parts. Ifconvenient, apply the rustpreventive compound to theengine flywheel. If not, disengagethe clutch mechanism to preventthe clutch disc from sticking tothe flywheel.

NOTE:Do not apply oil, grease or anywax-base compound to the flywheel.The cast iron will absorb thesesubstances, which can “sweat” outduring engine operation and cause theclutch to slip.

13. Drain the engine cooling system.

14. Drain the preservative oil fromthe engine crankcase. Reinstalland tighten the oil drain plug.

15. Remove and clean the batteryand battery cables with a bakingsoda-water solution and rinsewith fresh water. Do not allowthe soda solution to enter thebattery. Add distilled water tothe electrolyte (if necessary) andfully charge the battery. Store thebattery in a cool (never below 0°C or 32 °F) dry place. Keep thebattery fully charged and checkthe level and specific gravity ofthe electrolyte regularly.

16. Insert heavy paper strips betweenthe pulleys and serpentine drivebelt to prevent sticking or removethe drive belt and store separately.

NOTICE:Failure to properly seal off theturbocharger air inlet and exhaustoutlet openings before enginestorage may permit air drafts tocirculate through the turbochargerand rotate the turbine/compressorshaft without an adequate flow oflubricating oil to the center housingbearings. This can result in severebearing damage.

17. Seal all engine openings,including the turbocharger airand exhaust outlets and the valvecover/intake manifold opening.Use moisture-resistant tape andcardboard, plywood or metalcovers where practical.

18. Clean and dry the exterior paintedsurfaces of the engine and spraywith a suitable liquid automobilebody wax, a synthetic resinvarnish, or a rust preventivecompound.

19. Protect the engine with a goodweather-resistant tarpaulin andstore it under cover, preferablyin a dry building which can beheated during the winter months.

Outdoor storage of the engine is notrecommended. If units must be keptout of doors, follow the preparationand storage instructions alreadygiven. Protect units with quality,weather-resistant tarpaulins (or othersuitable covers) arranged to providefor air circulation.

ENGINE STORAGE

NOTICE:Do not use plastic sheeting foroutdoor storage. Plastic is finefor indoor storage. When usedoutdoors, however, enough moisturecan condense on the inside of theplastic to rust ferrous metal surfacesand pit aluminum surfaces. If a unitis stored outside for any extendedperiod of time, severe corrosiondamage can result.

The stored engine should be inspectedperiodically. If there are anyindications of rust or corrosion,corrective steps must be taken toprevent damage to the engine parts.Perform a complete inspection at theend of one year and apply additionaltreatment as required.

Restoring an Engine to Serviceafter Extended Storage

If an engine has been in extendedstorage, prepare it for service asfollows:

1. Remove the covers and tape fromall the openings of the engine, fueltank and electrical equipment. Donot overlook the turbocharger airand exhaust outlets and the valvecover/intake manifold openings.

2. Remove the plugs from the inletand outlet fuel lines and reconnectthe lines to their proper positions.

3. Wash or steam clean the exteriorof the engine to remove the rustpreventive, if previously applied.Do not wash or apply steam toelectrical components.

4. Remove the rust preventive fromthe flywheel. Flush any solubleoil rust inhibitor (if used) in thecooling system.

5. Remove the paper stripsfrom between the pulleys andserpentine drive belt or reinstallthe drive belt, if previouslyremoved.

6. Fill the crankcase to the properlevel with the required grade oflubricating oil. Use a pressurelubricator to insure all bearingsand rocker shafts are lubricated.

7. Fill the fuel tank with the requiredfuel. Prime the fuel system.

8.
