Accumulated grease and oil on an engine is a fire hazard. Keep the engine clean. Remove debris and fluid spills whenever a significant quantity accumulates on the engine. |
Periodic cleaning of the engine is recommended. Steam cleaning the engine will remove accumulated oil and grease. A clean engine provides the following benefits:
- Easy detection of fluid leaks
- Maximum heat transfer characteristics
- Ease of maintenance
Note: Caution must be used in order to prevent electrical components from being damaged by excessive water when the engine is cleaned. Pressure washers and steam cleaners should not be directed at any electrical connectors or the junction of cables into the rear of the connectors. Avoid electrical components such as the alternator, the starter, and the ECM. Protect the fuel injection pump from fluids in order to wash the engine.
Aftertreatment System
During the engine cleaning process, ensure that water or cleaning fluids cannot enter the aftertreatment system. If cleaning fluids enters the aftertreatment system, damage could occur.
