In order to maintain the proper operation of a
diesel engine, it is important to take proper care
of it, which includes cleaning as indicated.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are clean
because grease and dirt buildup keep the engine
warmer than normal.
When washing:● Take care when using a power washer to
clean the engine. The high-pressure fluid
could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage.
● Do not spray a hot engine with cold water to
avoid cracking the engine block or other
engine components.
● Spray an engine shampoo and/or degreaser
on all parts that require cleaning and pres-
sure rinse clean.
● Never wash or rinse the engine while it is hot
or running; water in the running engine may
cause internal damage.
● Never wash or rinse any control box electri-
cal connections.
● Cover the battery, power distribution box,
and air filter assembly to prevent water dam-
age when cleaning the engine.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST
The visible holesAin the exhaust system are
functional. The holes need to be kept clear of
mud/debris or foreign material to maintain proper
function of the exhaust system. Clean and re-
move debris or foreign material if present as
needed. Spraying with a hose during regular
washing of vehicle should help keep holes clean
and clear of debris or foreign material.
