Initial Operation After Engine Reconditioning

Initial Operation After Engine Reconditioning

The quality of oil control components used in Caterpillar engines is such that, following engine
reconditioning (with Caterpillar Service Parts), only an initial operational check is necessary before
continued operation in normal service.

The purpose of this initial operational check is to: insure that the engine has been assembled
properly; determine if proper pressures and temperatures are maintained in the lubrication, cooling,
and fuel systems; correct any leaks; perform necessary adjustments (such as valve clearance,
governor high and low idle speeds, etc.); check the set point.

To provide a safe, uniform initial operational check, the following procedure is recommended:

1. Motor engine at cranking speed until oil pressure is observed.

2. Operate engine for 10 minutes at low idle.

3. Operate engine for 15 minutes at half-load and 3/4 rated engine speed.

4. Operate engine for 30 minutes at rated load and speed.
