Cleaning Intervals
- The amount of contamination in the cooling system depends on the engine applications.
- Spilled oil or fuel on the engine increases the risk of contamination. Be especially careful if the engine is used in dusty environments.
- Serious contamination can occur for example:
- on construction sites where thee is a high level of air-borne dust.
- in harvesting applications where there are high concentrations of chaff and chopped straw in the vicinity of the machine
- Because applications vary, cleaning intervals have to be determined from case to case. The cleaning intervals given in the table below can be used as a guide.
| Suggested OH | Application |
|---|---|
| 2000 | Ships, gensets in enclosed spaces, pumps |
| 1000 | Vehicles on paved roads |
| 500 | Tractors, forklift trucks, mobile gensets |
| 250 | Vehicles on construction sites and unpaved roads, construction equipment, compressors, underground mining equipment |
| 125 | Agricultural machinery, harvester tractors |
