Turbo and Charge Air Cooler
General
WARNING
DO NOT remove, attach or tighten
turbocharger air intake ducting while the
engine is operating, or operate the engine
while the ducting is removed. Working
around the turbo with the ducting removed
may cause severe personal injury.
Visually inspect turbo mountings, intake and
exhaust ducting and connections for leaks
on a daily basis. Check oil inlet and outlet
for leaks or signs of restrictions to oil flow.
Check for unusual noise or vibration. If any
faults are detected, do not operate the engine
until the cause is determined and repaired.
DANGER
If oil leaks internally from the
turbocharger to the engine intake, the oil
acts as a fuel. Watch for excessive exhaust
smoke. DO NOT operate engine until
problem is corrected. There is no way to
regulate the engine speed if it runs on oil
and it may over speed. Loss of control of
vehicle may lead to an accident causing
severe personal injury or death.
Periodically inspect the front of the
radiator/charge-air-cooler package for
buildup of dirt, mud, insects, etc. Over
time, there may be a build-up of dirt,
mud, insects, etc., between the radiator
and charge-air-cooler. Inspect for build-up
and remove the cooler package to clean, if
necessary.
