f.
Maintenance of the Crankcase Breathers.
(1) Inspect. Visually Inspect the crankcase breathers (Figure 3-19) for security of installation. Check for clogged
hoses. Check for loose fittings.
Dry cleaning solvent, P-D-680, Type II, is flammable and moderately toxic to the

nuts (5), and lockwashers (6).
(b) Remove hose clamps (7) and detach hose (2) from hose fittings (8) and crankcase breathers (1).
(c) Remove capscrew (9), lockwasher (10), and flat washer (11) to remove crankcase breathers (1).
(4) Install
(a) Install crankcase breather (1) and secure with capscrew (9), lockwasher (10), and flat washer (11)
(b) Attach hose (2) to hose fittings (8) and crankcase breather (1) using hose clamps (7)
(c) Attach clamps (3) using hexagon head capscrews (4), hexagonal nuts (5), and lockwashers (6).
g.
Inspect Lube Oil Heater. See Figure 3-3. Visually Inspect the oil heater H113 and lubricant temperature
thermostat S101 on the engine oil pan for secure mounting and electrical connections and for signs of
overheating or damage.
h.
Inspect Prelube Pump. See Figure 1-5 and Figure 3-3. Check pump for secure mounting, loose electrical
