Step 1 (continued).
a. If red band is visible, press reset button on top of indicator and check that red band disappears
from view. (If red band does not disappear from view, notify organizational maintenance that
restriction indicator is defective.) Crank engine and check if red band reappears; if red band is
visible, air cleaner element is clogged (notify organizational maintenance).
b. If red band is not visible, go to step 2.
Step 2. Check for fuel contamination and condensation in fuel tank. (If contaminated, fuel will have a milky-
white coloring. During cold weather operation, the temperature at which wax crystals begin to form in
diesel fuel should be 10 degrees F below the lowest expected outside temperature.)
If any of the above conditions are seen, notify organizational maintenance.

NOTE
Normal engine oil consumption is less than 10 quarts in 1000 miles.
Step 1. Check ground under tractor for engine oil leakage.
a. If oil leaks are observed, notify organizational maintenance.
b. If oil leaks are not observed, go to step 2.
WARNING
Do not remove radiator cap from a hot radiator; stop the engine and allow it to cool before removing the
cap. This will avoid injury by scalding.
Step 2. Tilt cab 45 degrees, remove radiator cap, and inspect coolant for lubricating oil contamination.
