3.
Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket on
the new oil filter.
4. Spin the new filter onto the mounting adapter finger
tight until the gasket is evenly seated. Then turn it
down another 1/2 turn. Do not overtighten the new
filter.
5. Refill the engine with the proper amount and type
of oil as described in the Change the Oil section.
Start the engine and check for leaks around the fil-
ter element. Correct any leaks (usually by retight-
ening the filter, but only enough to stop leaks)
before placing the Vantage 500 back in service.
6. If there are no leaks, stop the engine and recheck
the oil level. If necessary, add oil to bring the level
up to the “MAX” mark, but do not overfill. See
Figure D5.1.
FUEL: At the end of each day's use, refill the fuel tank
to minimize moisture condensation and dirt contamina-
tion in the fuel line. Do not overfill; leave room for the
fuel to expand.
Refer to your engine operation manual for recom-
mended grade of fuel.
COOLING SYSTEM
To avoid scalding, do not loosen or remove the
radiator cap while the engine is hot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The VANTAGE 500 Cummins is equipped with a pres-
surized radiator. Keep the radiator cap tight to avoid
loss of coolant. Clean and flush the coolant system
periodically to prevent clogging the passages and over-
heating the engine. See the Engine Manual for mainte-
nance schedule.
If the coolant level is low, refill with a mixture of 50%
water and 50% ethylene-glycol based antifreeze. See
the Engine Manual for more information.
DRIVE BELT
Periodically check the Drive Belt tension and inspect
the belt for cracks or other damage. See the Engine
Manual for tension adjustment and/or belt replacement.
