Installation & Maintenance Tips:
Proper installation and regular maintenance are key to maximizing the life of your new water pump:
Flush System: Thoroughly flush the cooling system to remove old coolant and debris before installing the new pump.
Use Proper Coolant: Always use the correct type and mixture of antifreeze/coolant recommended for Caterpillar C13 engines.
Replace Seals/Gaskets: Use new, high-quality seals and gaskets during installation to prevent leaks.
Proper Torque: Tighten mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque sequence and values to ensure proper sealing and prevent damage.
Bleed Air: After refilling, properly bleed the cooling system to remove trapped air, which can cause poor circulation and cavitation.
Inspect Regularly: Periodically check for leaks, unusual noise from the pump, or signs of bearing wear.
