NOTICE
Former water temperature regulators may be used, if they
met test specifications and are not damaged or have
excessive buildup or deposits.
NOTICE
Since Caterpillar engines incorporate a shunt design
cooling system, it is mandatory to always operate the
engine with a water temperature regulator.
Depending on load, failure to operate with a water
temperature regulator could result in either an overheating
or an overcooling condition.
NOTICE
If the water temperature regulator is installed incorrectly, it
will cause the engine to overheat.
