PLUMB THE APU TO THE MAIN ENGINE

Note: This APU Systems comes with a built in radiator. The connection below is optional.

Plumbing Procedure

Step Four

1.Remove the truck radiator cap to free pressure from coolant system. Do not open when hot.

2.Deplete the truck coolant system (if necessary).

3.The APU is shipped with extensive life anti-freeze. Ensure this is compatible with truck coolant.

4.Ensure that the coolant will flow in the right direction (same direction whether the Diamond or main engine is running). The Diamond flow indicator can be used to verify the flow.

5.Replenish the engine coolant in the system according to the specific engine manufacturer’s recommendations (additional coolant will be required).

Plumbing Considerations

Silicon hose is satisfactory to use as coolant hose, but requires the use of silicon hose clamps.

Ensure radiator coolant can always flow between truck engine and APU.
