Operation
Pre Trip Inspection
 Crankcase Breather Tube
– Plugged (ice or snow)
 Fuel-Water Separator
– WIF lamps on most coaches; drain with engine off
 Lubricating Oil Level
– Level surface, 15 minute wait, 1 gallon between add and full (2 quarts on ISB)
 Fan, Cooling
– Cracks or bent blades?
 Coolant Level
– Never open hot (above 120 deg F); most have a poly bottle; sensor
 Air Intake Piping
– Clamps tight?
 Aftertreatment Exhaust Piping
– No white smoke from connections when warming up (on 2007 and later)
 Air Tanks and Reservoirs
– Air system holding pressure? Unusual noises?
 Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Level
– Poly bottle; sensor
Operation – Dash Lamps
HEST (High Exhaust System Temperature) lamp
Elevated exhaust temperature. Information Only.
DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) lamp - Normally OFF.
Increase Duty Cycle or Perform Stationary Regeneration.
Check Engine Lamp – used with DPF Lamp to indicate
need for Service Action – Can be coupled with De-Rate
Stop Engine Lamp – used with DPF Lamp to indicate need
for Immediate Service Action – Can be Coupled with Severe
De-Rate Must be taken to a repair location.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) lamp – indicates when DEF
level in tank is low. Correct with refilling DEF tank.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) – OBD and emissions
control system related.
Starting with 2007 – DPF regeneration
 Soot accumulates in the DPF
 Without regeneration, DPF can
plug
 We oxidize the soot by
regeneration
 Two methods of regeneration
– Passive – occurs with normal engine
operation
– Active – fuel is added to exhaust to
generate heat
 All that is left is ash (minerals)

Fuel Economy
 More power = more fuel
– Aerodynamics
• Air drag – largest power demand
• Function of speed
– Rolling Resistance
• Tires/pressure
• road surface
• weight
– Accessory Losses
• cooling fan
• engine parasitics
Fuel Economy = Money in your pocket
 Reduce vehicle speed … #1 factor affecting
MPG is speed … ‘Rule of Thumb’ 1 mpg per
10 mph above 55 mph
 Maintain proper tire pressure
– Rolling resistance increases as pressure drops
– 1% loss in MPG per 5-10 PSI
 Avoid excessive manual fan usage
– cooling fans draw 20-40 hp.
 Limit unnecessary engine idling
 Reduce weight when possible
Other operating tips
 If Motorhome is equipped with an exhaust brake (“Jake brake”)
turn off on slick roads
 Engine may automatically increase idle speed to warm up or
reduce soot in DPF
 Warm-up – operate with light throttle until coolant termpature
reaches 150 degrees
 Cooldown – idle for 3-5 minutes
 Do NOT use ether
Maintenance
Fluids – Fuel
 ULSD – Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (<15 ppm)
 No fuel additives are required or recommended
 EPA2002 and later engines up to B20 Biodiesel
– Suggest not storing long term with Biodiesel
 Avoid black “slime” in fuel filter
– Keep tank full when storing
– Fill at high volume fuel stations
– Biocide and fuel filters
Fluids - Oil
 API Classification
– Preferred: CJ-4 – Cummins CES 20081
• Example – Valvoline Premium Blue
– Optional: CI-4 – Cummins CES20078 – more ash in DPF
 Synthetic Oils
– Do NOT extend oil drain intervals
– Can be used after first oil drain
– Useful below -13 degrees F
 Oil analysis
– Can be useful to detect contaminants
– Should not be used to extend drain intervals
Fluids – Coolant/Antifreeze
 Consult chassis manufacturer recommendation
 Test Freeze point – 2 times per year – detect dilution
– Refractometer (C2806)
– Test Strips – single (CC2602B), 4 pack (CC2602A)
 Fully Formulated Coolant – Green
– Examples: Fleetcool™
– Requires SCA testing & maintenance (each oil change)
 OAT – Organic Acid Technology – Red
– Examples: Final Charge®, ES Compleat ™ OAT, Shell Rotella® ELC
– Be careful mixing brands – not all OAT Coolants are the same chemistry
 Fill For Life – Pink
– example: Fleetcharge®
– Does have a recommended change interval
Fluids - DEF
 Used with SCR to reduce NOx
 Freezes at 11°F (does not degrade)
 ISO spec 22241-1 – 32% Urea, 68% deionized water
 Avoid direct sunlight and temperature above 78°F
– Shelf life 18 months – 2 years
 No Special Handling
– Non-toxic, non-polluting, non-flammable
 2-5 gallons DEF for 100 gallons of diesel
– Most motorhome DEF tanks are 10-13 gallons
– Sized for about 2-3 complete fuel tank fills

Long term storage (6 months) suggestions
 Better to change oil/filters before storage than after
 Fill fuel tank (prevent condensation)
 Do NOT store with Biodiesel
 A monthly exercise program is good
– Start the engine, lubricate parts, charge batteries
 Tighten DEF cap
 Check coolant freeze protection (northern states)
