CAUTION

Run engine in clean area when air intake ducting is removed. Dirt, dust, and particles in

unfiltered air can enter engine and damage parts or cause mechanical failure.

INSTALLATION

1.

Install engine on dynamometer or powerplant test stand. Refer to TB 9-2350-368-25.

WARNING

A protective shield must be installed on turbocharger inlet prior to running engine without

built-in inlet screen or air cleaners. The turbocharger creates a strong suction at high

engine speeds and can pull hands or clothing into spinning blades. Failure to comply may

result in injury to personnel.

NOTE

Do not overfill any fluid reservoir/tank. If a fluid starts to flow out of reservoir/tank, stop

immediately to avoid spillage. Immediately clean up spilled fluid before proceeding with any

task.

2.

Connect source of fuel supply and fuel return to engine. Fill fuel filters with clean grade DF-2 fuel oil.

3.

Connect same type of air cleaners used for engine when in vehicle.
