Be sure the engine cannot be started while this maintenance is being performed. To prevent possible injury, do not use the starting motor to turn the flywheel. Hot engine components can cause burns. Allow additional time for the engine to cool before measuring/adjusting the unit injectors. The electronic unit injectors use high voltage. Disconnect the unit injector enable circuit connector in order to prevent personal injury. Do not come in contact with the injector terminals while the engine is running. |
The operation of a Cat Diesel Engine with improper adjustments of the electronic unit injectors can reduce engine efficiency. This reduced efficiency could result in excessive fuel usage and/or shortened engine component life.
Only qualified service personnel should perform this maintenance. Refer to Systems Operation Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Unit Injector - Adjust" for the adjustment procedure.
