  1. Fabricate a new Control/Monitor panel. The new panel can be made from 213-6176 Panel As. Reuse the original EMS panel. New features include the following: a remote C9 toggle start switch (I), a ground level shutdown switch located on the lower right side of the radiator guard, a throttle ON/OFF switch (L), a throttle ACCEL/DECEL switch (M), an engine shutdown switch (N), an additional diagnostic connector to support added CDL (C) and a turbocharger air inlet heater lamp (G).

  2. Prior functionality of the EMS I remains intact with regards to the scraper engine remote panel. Disconnect the coolant flow alarm. The C9 engine does not support the coolant flow alarm. Ground the input to the monitor.

  3. Install sensors that are used to provide signals to the EMS I. This will maintain the functionality of the E series. Upgrade the sensors with the service replacement if an updated service replacement is available.

    Note: Three sensors are not transferred to the replacement engine. The three sensors are the coolant flow switch, the coolant start aid switch and the engine oil pressure switch that was used to provide power for the service meter. The flow switch is not required on the new engine. The coolant start aid switch is not needed as the operation of the start aid system is triggered through the software of the ECM. The engine oil pressure switch is not required as the service replacement for the service meter is now enabled by the R terminal of the alternator.

  4. Replace the original service meter with the 197-8832 Service Meter Gp. The new service meter receives the signal from the alternator instead of an engine oil switch.


    Illustration 32g01435620

  5. Install a new backup alarm (1) under the new enclosure.

  6. Install an unswitched power breaker.


    Illustration 33g01435621

  7. Add four additional connectors (2) between the C9 and the rear radiator guard to assist in removal of the rear radiator guard.


    Illustration 34g01435732

  8. Make new longer battery cables using 159-8049 Cable (Red) (3) and 159-8050 Cable (Black) (4). This is required because the starter is located on the opposite side of the original engine.

  9. Locate the disconnect switch at the battery box in the negative cable.


    Illustration 35g01435818

  10. Install the engine control breaker (5) and the scraper main breaker (6) to the right rear engine cover support post.

  11. Mount the primer pump and primer pump switch on the new engine.

    Note: The primer pump start switch will be enabled at any such time the ignition switch in the cab is in the OFF position. When this switch is in the ON position or RUN position a newly added scraper relay will be energized to power elements that will provide the momentary engine start switch at the remote panel to be utilized.

  12. Connect the CDL system to the C9 ECM.


    Illustration 36g01436913

  13. Install 266-7302 Ether Starting Aid Gp to the support assembly. Refer to Parts Manual, SEBP4242.

Note: The option of throttle lock is configurable with ET and can be operational by controls in the cab.

Note: When repowering a 631E or 633E you will need to connect a 3E-7842 Resistor between "J1", pin 10 on the ECM and ground.
