Operating Instructions for Starting the Engine Operating Instructions for Starting the Engine First Time Start Preparations When preparing to start a new (or newly overhauled) engine, which has been in storage, perform all of the operations listed below. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious engine damage. Be sure you are familiar with all of the instruments, gauges and controls which are needed to operate the engine.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual Lubrication System Checks The lubricating oil film on the rotating parts and bearings of a new or newly overhauled engine, or one which has been in storage for six months or more, may be insufficient when the engine is started for the first time.
Operating Instructions for Starting the Engine 1. Check the oil level daily with the engine stopped and on a level surface. If the engine has just been stopped and is warm, wait approximately 20 minutes to allow the oil to drain back into the oil pan before checking. 2. Add oil to maintain the correct level on the dipstick. Use only the heavyduty oils recommended in the "How to Replace the Lubricating Oil and Oil Filter" section in this manual.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual After an Extended Storage NOTICE: Failure to eliminate water-diluted lubricating oil may lead to serious engine damage at startup. An engine in storage for an extended period of time (over winter, for example) may accumulate water in the oil pan through normal condensation of moisture (always present in the air) on the cold, internal surfaces of the engine. Lubrication oil diluted by water cannot provide adequate bearing protection at engine startup.
Operating Instructions for Starting the Engine NOTICE: To ensure maximum engine performance for GHG17 applications, always use Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel (ULSD) with 15 PPM sulfur content or less, based on ASTM Standard D2622 test procedure. Higher sulfur levels will damage the engine Aftertreatment System (ATS).
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual 6. Start the engine with the accelerator pedal in the idle position. Monitor the oil pressure gauge or indicator lamp. Keep the engine running at idling speed until the oil pressure reading is 14 psi (97 kPa) or more. 7. Allow engine to reach operating temperature 60ºC (140ºF). NOTICE: Increasing engine speed above idle before oil pressure has stabilized may cause severe engine damage. 8. Increase engine speed to 1800 rpm for three minutes. 9.
Operating Instructions for Starting the Engine Starting the Engine for the First Time WARNING: EXPLOSION To avoid injury from explosion, never use ether with an engine's electrical cold starting system. Before starting the engine the first time, perform an inspection of the engine systems. EPA07 engines only: An electrical grid heater is used as a cold weather starting aid if the ambient temperature is below 4ºC (40ºF).
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual NOTICE: To prevent serious starter motor damage, release the ignition switch immediately after the engine has started. 2. Turn on the ignition switch. 3. Wait for the engine system indicator lights on the instrument panel to go out. 4. With foot off the accelerator pedal, start the engine. 5. If the engine does not start after 20 seconds, stop. Try again after waiting about 60 seconds.
Operating Instructions for Starting the Engine Warming Up the Engine Run the engine at part throttle for about five minutes to allow it to warm up before applying a load. Inspection During Idling While the engine is idling, inspect the transmission and crankcase for fluid leaks. On DD15 and DD16 engines, check the Axial Power Turbine (APT) for oil leaks. Checking the Transmission While the engine is idling, check the automatic transmission (if equipped) for proper oil level and add oil as required.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual Checking the Turbocharger Check the turbocharger as follows: 1. Make a visual inspection of the turbocharger for oil leaks, exhaust leaks, excessive noise, or vibration. 2. If a leak, unusual noise, or vibration is noted, stop the engine immediately. Do not restart the engine until the cause of the concern has been investigated and corrected. Checking the Axial Power Turbine Check the axial power turbine for excessive noise or vibration.
Operating Instructions for Starting the Engine Stopping the Engine Stop an engine under normal operating conditions as follows: NOTICE: Do not stop a turbocharged engine immediately after a highspeed operation. Allow a sufficient cool-down period of about five minutes to prevent the turbocharger from continuing to turn without an oil supply to the bearings or damage can result. 1. Reduce engine speed to idle and put all shift levers in the neutral position.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual NOTICE: Failure to connect jumper cables in the proper sequence can result in alternator and/or equipment damage. Before attempting to jump start the engine, the jumper cables must be connected properly; positive-to-positive, and negative-to-chassis or suitable ground. The proper sequence is to connect negative to negative ground last. Routine Engine Start The following are procedures for a routine engine start.
Operating Instructions for Starting the Engine 4. Check the engine for leaks. a. Check all hoses, hose clamps, and pipe unions on the engine for tightness. Shut down the engine and tighten them if necessary. b. Check the oil feed and return lines at the turbocharger for leaks. Shut down the engine and tighten them if necessary. 5. Shut down the engine.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual Checking the Coolant Level (Hot Check) Check the coolant levels as follows: 1. Allow the engine to run for approximately five minutes at a moderate speed. 2. After the coolant temperature reaches 50°C (122°F), recheck the coolant level in the surge tank. WARNING: HOT COOLANT To avoid scalding from the expulsion of hot coolant, never remove the cooling system pressure cap while the engine is at operating temperature.
Operating Instructions for Starting the Engine Monitoring the Oil Pressure When the engine has reached its normal operating temperature, the engine oil pressure must not drop below the following values: • 55 psi (380 kPa) at rated speed • 14 psi (97 kPa) at idling speed If oil pressure drops below these values, stop the engine and determine the cause. Excessive Idling Never allow the engine to idle for more than 30 minutes. Excessive idling can cause oil to leak from the turbocharger.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual As soon as an engine fault is detected, it is evaluated and one of the following measures is initiated. • In conjunction with any dashboard or instrument panel display, the code for the electronic control unit reporting the fault can be read immediately on the display. • If the fault is serious enough to impair normal operation, the electronic control unit switches over to a "limp home" mode.
Operating Instructions for Starting the Engine Cold Weather Operation Special precautions must be taken during cold weather. To protect your engine, special cold weather handling is required for fuel, engine oil, coolant, and batteries. NOTICE: To avoid engine damage, DO NOT use any type of aerosol spray, e.g., ether, starting fluid or brake cleaner to aid in starting the engine.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual • To improve cab heating while idling under extreme cold ambient temperature • When the ambient temperature remains below -30°C (-22°F) and the engine is unable to maintain running coolant temperature of 80°C (175°F) during normal over-the-road operation If either of the above situations is encountered, then a winter front may be temporarily used.
Detroit Diesel Electronic Controls (DDEC) System Detroit Diesel Electronic Controls (DDEC) System DDEC VI System - EPA07 The engine is equipped with a fully electronic control system, which regulates the fuel injection quantity and timing using solenoid valves, allowing extremely lowemission operation. Besides the engine and its related sensors, the system is composed of the following: • The Motor Control Module (MCM) • The Common Powertrain Controller (CPC) located under the right-hand dash panel.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual These data are evaluated together with the data from the sensors on the engine, such as coolant and fuel temperature and oil and charge pressure. The data is then compared to the characteristic maps or lines stored in the MCM. From these data, quantity and timing of injection are calculated. NOTE: To obtain a replacement MCM, all the data given on the MCM label are required. The MCM data label has the 10 digit engine serial number. Figure 22.

DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual The standard parameters which are monitored for engine protection are low coolant level, high coolant temperature, low oil pressure, and high oil temperature. WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY To avoid injury from engine shutdown in an unsafe situation, ensure the operator knows how to override the stop engine condition on a DDEC-equipped unit.
Detroit Diesel Electronic Controls (DDEC) System Idle Shutdown Timer This feature is an optional 1-80 minute idle shutdown system. Its purpose is to conserve fuel by eliminating excessive idling and allowing a turbocharger cooldown period. To activate the shutdown, the transmission must be in neutral with the vehicle parking brakes set and the engine in idle or fast-idle mode.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual Engine speed and power are varied under Cruise Control to maintain the set vehicle speed. The vehicle speed must be above Min Cruise Set Speed and below Max Cruise Set Speed. It is recommended that Max Cruise Set Speed be set to the default to allow proper operation of other features such as Fuel Economy Incentive and PasSmart. The Vehicle Speed Limit should be used to limit vehicle throttle speed. Turn the switch ON to energize the system.
Detroit Diesel Electronic Controls (DDEC) System Once Cruise Control is enabled and you reach your road speed, press the SET Switch to activate Cruise Control. The cruise light will come on. To increase road speed toggling the switch will result in a one mile-per-hour (1.6 kph) increase or decrease in vehicle speed. If Cruise Control has been disabled, toggling the RSM/ACC Switch restores the vehicle to the previously set cruise speed. , press the RSM/ACC Switch.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual With the engine at normal idle, transmission in neutral and service brakes on, press the SPD CNTL Switch, and use the RSM/ACC Switch. The engine rpm should increase to a pre-defined speed. The engine rpm can be raised or lowered from this point using the SET/CST and RSM/ACC switches. Engine Brake and Cruise Control Your engine is equipped with both Cruise Control and an engine brake; the engine brake can operate automatically while you are in Cruise Control.
Detroit Diesel Electronic Controls (DDEC) System normal and caused by the velocity changes of the air flow within the air intake plumbing. Electronic engines can actually deliver more fuel at lower engine speeds than at rated speed. The engine has been designed for a very quiet operation, but the air flow may be noticeable to the tuned, attentive ear. The turbocharger operates at higher boost pressure forcing EGR gas flow through the EGR plumbing.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual Engine Brake System The engine is equipped with an engine brake. Before operating the vehicle, you must familiarize yourself with the engine brake system to obtain optimum benefit from it. Engine brake control systems may vary slightly, depending on the engine brake configuration and cab design. However, basic operator controls are similar for all models.
Engine Brake System • • • • • Engine Brake switch is on. An Engine Brake level (Low/Med/High) is selected. Vehicle meets the programmed minimum speed. The Clutch Pedal is out. The Accelerator Pedal is at zero percent activation. Engine Brake Operation NOTICE: Always allow the engine to reach full normal operating temperature before activating the engine brake system to ensure positive engine brake engagement.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual NOTE: Some systems may be programmed to activate themselves only when the brake pedal is pressed, so read your vehicle owner's manual thoroughly to find out if you have this option. Anti-Lock Braking Systems Vehicles equipped with ABS have the ability to turn the engine brake OFF if a wheel-slip condition is detected. The engine brake will automatically turn itself ON once the wheel slip is no longer detected.
Engine Brake System CAUTION: BRAKE FADE To avoid injury, do not over apply the vehicle service brakes when descending a long, steep grade. Excessive use of the vehicle brakes will cause them to heat up, reducing their stopping ability. This condition, referred to as “brake fade”, may result in loss of braking, which could lead to personal injury or vehicle/property damage or both. 2. Ensure the progressive braking switch is in the appropriate power position (LOW/MED/HIGH).
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual CAUTION: LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL To avoid injury from loss of vehicle control, do not activate the Engine Brake system under the following conditions: • On wet or slippery pavement, unless the vehicle is equipped with ABS (anti-lock braking system) and you have had prior experience driving under these conditions. • When driving without a trailer (bobtailing) or pulling an empty trailer.
Engine Systems Engine Systems The engine systems are as follows: Three-Filter Fuel System The three-filter fuel system consists of DDEC control system, fuel injectors, low and high pressure pumps, fuel filter module, prefilter, water separator/coalescer, final filter, and the necessary connecting fuel lines. The common rail system with injectors provides amplification for better fuel atomization.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual Exhaust Gas Recirculation System The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system consists of an EGR cooler, EGR valve and actuator. The EGR actuator opens and closes the EGR valve to allow hot exhaust gas to enter the EGR cooler. Heat is extracted from the exhaust gas, resulting in cooler exhaust gas to the cylinders. EGR lowers the temperature of the exhaust from the engine, therefore, reducing exhaust gas emissions to acceptable levels.
EPA07 Aftertreatment Device EPA07 Aftertreatment Device In order to meet EPA07 emissions regulations, the traditional muffler was replaced by a new Aftertreatment Device (ATD). The EPA07 ATD consists of a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Together, these two components burn off collected particulate matter in a process called "regeneration." The key to successful regeneration is high exhaust temperature for an extended period of time.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual EPA10 Aftertreatment System To meet EPA10 emission regulations, the traditional muffler was replaced by an Aftertreatment Device (ATD). The ATD consists of a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), and a Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) system.

DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual Diesel Exhaust Fluid Information NOTE: The following information pertains to EPA10/GHG14/GHG17 DD Platform. The Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system for this engine requires Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to maintain exhaust emissions at levels compliant with emissions standards. DEF is a simple, non-toxic and inexpensive pre-mixed fluid composed of 2/3 pure water and 1/3 automotive grade urea.
Aftertreatment Device Operating Requirements Aftertreatment Device Operating Requirements NOTICE: Not following the operating requirements may result in damage to the Aftertreatment Device (ATD) or accelerated ash plugging of the diesel particulate filter. NOTICE: Do not use kerosene or fuel blended with used lube oil. Oxidation of particulate matter is the key to filter performance. This requires that the catalyzing agent (platinum-coated passages) provide optimum enhancement to the oxidation process.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual EPA10 Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Purge Cycle For EPA10 only, the DEF purge cycle is used to protect the DEF system from freezing. The purge cycle starts right after the key is shut off. The vehicle's air system is used to evacuate excess DEF from the DEF metering unit and nozzle supply hose. During the purge cycle, air can be heard leaking, which should not be mistaken as a leak.
EPA10/GHG14/GHG17 Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank EPA10/GHG14/GHG17 Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank The Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank holds the DEF supply. The filler neck has a smaller diameter (19 mm) than the filler neck of the diesel fuel tank and is fitted with a magnetic insert so that diesel fuel cannot be mistakenly added to the DEF tank. The DEF you should use with your Detroit™ product will be API (American Petroleum Institute) certified and meet the specifications ISO 22241-1 and DIN70700.

Routine Preventive Maintenance Table 26. Poly-V-Belt Inspection Concerns PILLING UNEVEN RIB WEAR MISALIGNMENT GRAVEL PENETRATION Monitoring the Serpentine Belts Two poly-V-belts (8 and 9) are used on the engine for On-Highway Vehicle applications. One belt drives the fan hub and the other belt drives the remaining accessories. To provide proper running tension, the system utilizes an automatic tensioning device. Automatic belt tensioners require no adjustment.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual Replacement of Belts DD Platform engines utilize a specially designed EPDM belt material which is exclusive to the OE component. Replacement with an aftermarket part may lead to shortened maintenance intervals and excessive noise. If the vehicle is operated in severely cold/hot temperatures, or is exposed to significant dust/debris/road salt, the belts may require replacement prior to mileage specified in the maintenance interval section.
Routine Preventive Maintenance Monitoring the Exhaust System Inspect the Exhaust System as follows: 1. Check the exhaust manifold retaining bolts and other connections for tightness. 2. Check the exhaust pipe rain cap for proper operation, if so equipped. Monitoring the Aftertreatment System A Check Engine Indicator or mileage/time intervals indicate when ash cleaning is required. Use DETROIT Diesel Corporation's authorized DPF cleaning procedure.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual NOTICE: Never use galvanized steel fuel tanks, fittings, pipes, or supply lines. The fuel reacts chemically with the zinc coating to form powdery flakes that can quickly clog the fuel filters and damage the fuel pumps and injectors. 5. Every 120,000 miles (200,000 kilometers) or 12 months, tighten all fuel tank mountings and brackets. At the same time, check the seal in the fuel tank cap, the breather hole in the cap, and the condition of the flexible fuel lines.
Routine Preventive Maintenance 1. Thoroughly inspect all hoses at least every 500 operating hours (1,000 hours for fire-resistant fuel and lubricating oil hoses) and/or annually. Look for cover damage and/or indications of twisted, worn, crimped, brittle, cracked or leaking lines. Hoses with their outer cover worn through or with damaged metal reinforcements should be considered unfit for further service. 2.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual 2. Keep the terminal surface clean. 3. Inspect the cables, clamps and hold-down brackets regularly. Clean and reapply a light coating of petroleum jelly when needed. Have corroded or damaged parts replaced. 4. If the engine is to be out of service for more than 30 days, remove the batteries and store in a cool, dry place. a. Keep batteries fully charged, if possible. b. Replace any battery that fails to hold a charge. 5.
Routine Preventive Maintenance Inspection of the Battery-Charging Alternator Precautions must be taken when working on or around the alternator. The diodes and transistors in the alternator circuit are very sensitive and can be easily destroyed.
DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual Checking the Vibration Damper Check the vibration damper as follows: 1. Inspect the viscous vibration damper (1) periodically and replace if dented or leaking. 2. Heat from normal engine operation may, over a period of time, cause the fluid within the damper to break down and lose its dampening properties. For this reason, replace the viscous vibration damper at time of normal major engine overhaul, regardless of apparent condition.

DD Heavy Duty Platform Operators Manual Extended Life Coolants Extended Life Coolant (ELC) contain Organic Acid Technology (OAT) which provide corrosion protection and inhibit liner cavitation. These coolants require less maintenance over the useful life of the engine. ELC antifreeze coolants are commercially available from Detroit™ (recommended) and other manufacturers as either concentrated or pre-mixed formulations. Concentrated antifreeze coolants should be mixed at 50% (50% antifreeze/50% water).

How to Procedures • Methoxy propanol-based antifreeze must not be used in Detroit™ engines because it is not compatible with fluorocarbon elastomer seals found in the cooling system. • Glycol-based coolants formulated for Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning (HVAC) must not be used in Detroit™ engines. These coolants generally contain high levels of phosphates, which will form deposits on hot internal engine surfaces, reduce heat transfer, and cause water pump seal leaks.
