6SE483 9610 1996 DETROIT DIESEL CORPORATION From Bulletin 5-60-98 13-30a 13.8.4.6 Stop Engine Light did not Illuminate If stop engine light did not illuminate, use the following procedure: 1. Check wiring harness and mating connector for damaged wires or pins. 2. Remove and clean sensor. Wash with mild detergent and rinse with clean water. 3. Submerge sensor in container of water up to connector with wiring harness connected. 4. Turn ignition switch on.(DO NOT START ENGINE.) 5. Slowly remove sensor from water. 6. The light should illuminate, indicating low coolant level. 7. If light does illuminate, system is working properly. 8. If light still does not illuminate, replace sensor and return it to DDC. combustion efficiency. 13.8.5 Turbocharger Inspect the mountings, intake and exhaust ducting and connections for leaks. Check the oil inlet and outlet lines for leaks and/or restrictions to oil flow. Check for unusual noise or vibration and, if excessive, remove the turbocharger and correct the cause. Refer to section 6.4.2. 13.8.6 Battery On batteries equipped with charge indicator eyes, periodically check for adequate charge. If batteries are the filler cap type, check the level of the electrolyte every 100 hours or every 7,500 miles (12,000 km). In warm weather, however, it should be checked more frequently due to a more rapid loss of water from the electrolyte. Electrolyte should be maintained in accordance with the battery manufacturer's recommendations. Periodically remove, check and clean battery post terminals and connections. Replace corroded or damaged parts. Refer to section 8.3.2. 13.8.7 Tachometer Drive A typical tachometer drive take-off location is the camshaft drive gear access cover on the front of the gear case cover. Lubricate the tachometer drive (if so equipped) every 150 hours or 15,000 miles (24,000 miles) with an all purpose grease. At temperatures above -1 C (+30 F), use a No. 2 grade grease. Use a No. 1 grade grease below this temperature. 13.8 DESCRIPTION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS All information subject to change without notice. 13-30b From Bulletin 5-60-98 6SE483 9610 1996 DETROIT DIESEL CORPORATION 13.8.8 Drive Belts New standard vee-belts will stretch after the first few hours of operation. Run the engine for 10 to 15 minutes at 1200 r/min to seat the belts, then readjust the tension. Check the belts and tighten the fan drive, battery charging generator or alternator and other accessory drive belts after 1/2 hour or 15 miles and again after 8 hours or 250 miles (402 km) of operation. Thereafter, check the tension of the drive belts every 100 hours or 7,500 miles (12,000 km) and adjust, if necessary. Belts should be neither too tight nor too loose. Belts that are too tight impose excess loads on the crankshaft, fan and/or alternator bearings, shortening both belt and bearing life. Excessively overtightened belts can result in crankshaft breakage. A loose belt will slip and may cause damage to accessory components. Replace ALL belts in a set when one is worn . Single belts of similar size should not be used as a substitute for a matched belt set: premature belt wear can result because of belt length variation. All belts in a matched belt set are within .032 in. (0.81 mm) of their specified center distances. Adjust the belt tension as listed in Table 13-1 , using J 41251-B . Fan Drive Single Belt Fan Drive 2 or 3 Belts New Alternator Belts 2 1/2 in. Used Alternator Belts 2 1/2 in. 14-100 lb (355 - 455 N) 60-80 lb (266 - 355 N) 125 lb (556 N) 100 lb (445 N) Table 13-1 Table Belt Tensions If a belt tension gage is not available, adjust the belt tension so that a firm push with the thumb, at a point midway between the two pulleys, will depress the belt 12.70-19.05 mm (.500 -.750 in.). NOTE: When installing or adjusting an accessory drive belt, be sure the bolt at the accessory adjusting pivot point is properly tightened, as well as the bolt in the adjusting slot. NOTE: Drive belts (vee and poly-vee) should be replaced every 2,000 hours or 100,000 miles (160,000 km). A single poly-vee belt is used with the 50 DN Alternator. The 50 DN alternator drive belt tension is set at 1558 N (350 lb) during engine assembly and belt replacement. A new belt loses tension rapidly during the first few minutes of operation. Therefore, it is important to check the tension after 30 minutes of operation. Allow the belt to cool with the engine off for 30 minutes before measuring tension. o If the tension on the belt is greater than or equal to 1115 N (250 lb), no further tensioning is required. o If the tension on the belt is less than 1115 N (250 lb), tension the belt to 1115 N (250 lb). Periodic tensioning of the belt is required to maximize belt life. The belt tension should be measured once per month or every 7,500 miles (12,000 km), whichever comes first.
