CARE & MAINTENANCE

ENGINE TOP COVER

The engine top cover is located beneath the

rear bed. This cover is only removed for replace-

ment of engine parts or if a complete view of the

engine is needed for inspection. To do this,

remove the mattress from the bed and lift the

hinged bed board upward. Support the bed board

with a suitable prop rod while accessing engine.

Routine engine inspection can be performed

(with protective clothing) under the left rear side

of the vehicle, between the luggage compart-

ment and engine exhaust muffler.

FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR

Diesel fuel often contains small quantities of

water which can damage the engine if not filtered

out. The fuel/water separator traps this water and

prevents it from reaching the engine. The harmful

water deposits must be drained from the separa-

tor canister during normal periodic service and

maintenance to keep the fuel filtration system

working effectively.

The fuel/water separator is located in the rear

engine compartment. Open the grille and look

straight down inside the opening.

Place an appropriate container beneath the

outlet and screw the water release valve open

several turns. Drain any water deposits from the

canister until clean diesel fuel flows from the

valve. Close valve by hand. Do not over tighten.

Dispose of the drained liquid in an environ-

mentally responsible manner, such as taking to a

waste oil disposal center.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

Refer to your Freightliner chassis operating

manual and Cummins engine manual for infor-

mation and precautions on filling, servicing and

checking the fluid level.

TIRES

Low air pressure results in tire overloading

and abnormal wear and also affects handling and

fuel economy. Obtain proper inflation pressures

from your chassis operating guide or tire manu-

facturer.

When refilling the coolant system, be

sure to allow for additional coolant

capacity of the automotive heater and

its supply and return hoses.
