Do not use air lters with damaged pleats, gaskets, or seals. Dirt entering the engine will cause damage to engine components.
SEBU7885-12
The primary air lter element can be used up to six times after the element is properly cleaned and inspected. When the primary air lter element is cleaned, check for rips or tears in the lter material. The primary air lter element should be replaced at least one time per year. This replacement should be performed regardless of the number of cleanings. NOTICE Do not clean the air lter elements by bumping or tapping. This could damage the seals. Do not use elements with damaged pleats, gaskets, or seals. Damaged elements will allow dirt to pass through. Engine damage could result. Visually inspect the primary air lter element before cleaning. Inspect the air lter element for damage to the seal, the gaskets, and the outer cover. Discard any damaged air lter elements. There are two common methods that are used to clean the primary air lter element:
Vacuum Cleaning
Vacuum cleaning is another method for cleaning a primary air lter element which requires daily cleaning because of a dry, dusty environment. Cleaning with pressurized air is recommended prior to vacuum cleaning. Vacuum cleaning will not remove deposits of carbon and oil.
Inspect the clean, dry primary air lter element. Use a 60 watt blue light in a dark room or in a similar facility. Place the blue light in the primary air lter element. Rotate the primary air lter element. Inspect the primary air lter element for tears and/or holes. Inspect the primary air lter element for light that may show through the lter material. If it is necessary in order to conrm the result, compare the primary air lter element to a new primary air lter element that has the same part number. Do not use a primary air lter element that has any tears and/or holes in the lter material. Do not use a primary air lter element with damaged pleats, gaskets or seals. Discard damaged primary air lter elements.
Illustration 146
g00281692
Note: When the primary air lter element is cleaned, always begin with the inside of the lter in order to force dirt particles toward the outside. Aim the hose so that the air ows inside the element along the length of the lter in order to help prevent damage to the paper pleats. Do not aim the stream of air directly at the primary air lter element. Dirt could be forced further into the pleats.

An excessive amount of debris in the lter element can indicate a possible failure. If metals are found in the lter element, a magnet can be used to differentiate between ferrous metals and nonferrous metals. Ferrous metals can indicate wear on steel parts and on cast iron parts. Nonferrous metals can indicate wear on the aluminum parts of the engine such as main bearings, rod bearings, or turbocharger bearings. Small amounts of debris may be found in the lter element. This could be caused by friction and by normal wear. Consult your Caterpillar dealer in order to arrange for further analysis if an excessive amount of debris is found. Using an oil lter element that is not recommended by Caterpillar can result in severe engine damage to engine bearings, to the crankshaft, and to other parts. This can result in larger particles in unltered oil. The particles could enter the lubricating system and the particles could cause damage.

Turbocharger - Inspect
SMCS Code: 1052-040 If the turbocharger fails during engine operation, severe damage to the turbocharger compressor wheel and to the entire engine can result. Turbocharger bearing failures can cause large quantities of oil to enter the intake system and the exhaust system. Loss of engine oil can result in serious engine damage. Do not continue to operate the engine when a turbocharger bearing failure is accompanied by a signicant loss of engine performance. Engine smoke and speeding up of the engine with no load are characteristics of a loss of engine performance. Reference: For additional information about inspecting the turbocharger, refer to System Operation, SENR1123, 3500B and 3500B High Displacement Engines For Caterpillar Built Machines , Air and Inlet Exhaust System.

If power is removed from the main module of the VIMS, the internal battery will begin to retain the stored data. Power is removed from the main module of the VIMS when the battery disconnect switch is in the OFF position. The internal battery retains the time and the date when the engine start switch is in the OFF position. This will occur regardless of the position of the battery disconnect switch. Note: To prevent the loss of stored information, replace the internal battery at the service interval. If the ambient temperature is continuously in the range of 0 to 40C (32 to 40F), cut the service interval in half. Note: If the Vital Information Management System (VIMS) detects a failed battery, a fault code will indicate that the battery needs a replacement. If power is removed from the main module of the VIMS during this fault code, loss of the stored data can occur within several hours. The lithium battery fails quickly. When the fault code is present, immediately download the stored data. Then replace the internal battery without turning off the engine start switch or the battery disconnect switch. Note: If ECM BKUP BATT ERR is displayed in the message area of the VIMS, do NOT turn the engine start switch to the OFF position. Go to Step 3. 1. Stop the machine and turn off the engine. Leave the battery disconnect switch in the ON position. 2. Turn the engine start switch to the ON position or turn the keyswitch for the VIMS to the ON position. 3. Use the service tool for the VIMS to download all of the stored information. The service tool for the VIMS is not part of the machine. Failure to perform this step may result in the loss of stored data. 4. Leave the engine start switch in the ON position or leave the keyswitch for the VIMS in the ON position. Leave the battery disconnect switch in the ON position. Note: If these switches remain in the ON position during replacement, the date and the time of day are less likely to require programming. 5. Remove the battery from the back of the VIMS module. Note: Do not allow dirt or water into the opening. Keep the area clean. 6. Install a new internal battery. Be careful to align the pins of the new battery with the sockets. 7. Check the O-ring seal. Tighten securely against the housing.
8. The real time clock format in the main module is powered by this battery. A dead battery will cause the date to be lost and a dead battery will cause the time to be lost. After the battery has been replaced, the date will default to 01/01/00. Also, the time will default to 00:00:00. If necessary, use the service tool for the VIMS to set the time and the date. Refer to Service Manual, SENR6059, Vital Information Management System (VIMS) for additional information.
