Step 3.
Check for water or other contaminants in the fuel.
Drain the fuel tank and refill with clean fuel of proper grade. Replace fuel filter and purge
system of air (figure 3-17).

Check for engine overheating (safety switch shutdown).
Fill radiator with coolant as needed. Add oil to engine crankcase as needed. Adjust fan drive
belt as necessary. Examine radiator hoses for leakage and notify organizational maintenance if
hoses require replacement. Allow engine to cool before restarting. No reset, other than
allowing to cool, is necessary for this safety shutdown.

Add oil to separator tank as necessary. Refer to LO 5-4310-354 -12, figure 3-1. Inspect
compressor oil lines, to and from the oil cooler, and the oil cooler for evidence of leakage.
Notify organizational maintenance of leakage. No reset is required other than allowing unit to
cool after replenishing oil supply.
Step 7.
