Safety Information
This manual provides general and specific
maintenance procedures essential for reliable engine
operation and your safety. Since many variations in
procedures, tools, and service parts are involved,
advice for all possible safety conditions and hazards
cannot be stated.
Read safety instructions before doing any service and
test procedures for the engine or vehicle. See related
application manuals for more information.
Disregard for Safety Instructions, Warnings, Cautions,
and Notes in this manual can lead to injury, death or
damage to the engine or vehicle.
Safety Terminology
Three terms are used to stress your safety and safe
operation of the engine: Warning, Caution, and Note
Warning: A warning describes actions necessaryto
prevent or eliminate conditions, hazards, and unsafe
practices that can cause personal injury or death.
Caution: A caution describes actions necessary
to prevent or eliminate conditions that can cause
damage to the engine or vehicle.
Note: A note describes actions necessaryforcorrect,
efficient engine operation.
Safety Instructions

Standard Features
DT 466, DT 570, and HT 570 are inline six cylinder
engines (medium range). Engine displacements are
7.6 liters (466 cubic inches) for the DT 466 and 9.3
liters (570 cubic inches) for the DT 570, and HT 570.
The firing order of the cylinders is 1–5–3–6–2–4.
The cylinder head has four valves percylinderfor
improved air flow. Each fuel Injector is centrally
located between the four valves anddirectsfuel
over the piston bowl for improved performance and
reduced emissions. The overhead valve train includes
mechanical roller lifters, push rods, rocker arms, and
dual valves that open using a valve bridge.
A one piece crankcase withstands high-pressure
loads during diesel operation.
The lower end of the DT 570 and HT 570 engines (for
ratings above 300 hp) includes a crankcase ladder
designed to absorb additional loads generated by
increased horsepower. Seven main bearings support
the crankshaft for DT 466, DT 570, and HT 570
engines. Fore and aft thrust are controlled at the rear
bearing. Four insert bushings support the camshaft.
The rear oil seal carrier is part of the flywheel housing.
The open crankcase breather assembly uses a road
draft tube to vent crankcase pressure and an oil
separator that returns oil to the crankcase.
The crankshaft (CKP) and camshaft (CMP) sensors
are used by the ECM and IDM to calculate rpm, fuel
timing, fuel quantity, and duration of fuel injection.
Two different types of pistons are used in the inline
engines:
• The DT 466 engine has one piece aluminum alloy
pistons.
• The DT 570 and HT 570 engines have two piece
articulated pistons with a steel crown.
All pistons are mated to fractured cap joint connecting
rods. Replaceable wet cylinder sleeves are used with
the pistons.
A gerotor lube oil pump, mounted to the front cover, is
driven directly by the crankshaft. All engines use an
oil cooler and spin-on oil filter.
A low-pressure fuel supply pump draws fuel from the
fuel tank through a fuel filter assembly that includes
astrainer,filter element, primer pump, drain valves,
and Water In Fuel (WIF) sensor. After filtering, fuel is
pumped to the cylinder head fuel rail.
The International® electro-hydraulic generation 2
injection system includes a cast iron oil manifold, fuel
injectors, and a high-pressure oil pump.

The VGT has actuated vanes in the turbine housing.
The vanes modify flow characteristics of exhaust
gases through the turbine housing. The benefitisthe
ability to control boost pressure for various engine
speeds and load conditions. An additional benefitis
lower emissions.
An EGR control valve regulates cooled exhaust
gases entering the inlet air stream. Cool exhaust gas
increases engine tolerance for EGR, while reducing
smoke formed by gas dilution in the mixture. Three
EGR coolers are available depending on applications.
The water supply housing, which includes auxiliary
water connections, serves the dual function as the
Freon® compressor bracket.
Three control modules monitor and control the
electronic engine systems:
• Diamond Logic® engine controller – Electronic
Control Module (ECM)
• Injector Drive Module (IDM)
• Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) drive module
Water In Fuel (WIF) separation occurs when the filter
element repels water molecules and water collects
at the bottom of the element cavity in the fuel filter
housing.
A Water In Fuel (WIF) sensor in the element cavity
of the fuel filter housing detects water. When enough
water accumulates in the element cavity, the WIF
sensor signal changes to the Electronic Control
Module (ECM). The ECM sends a message to
illuminate the amber water and fuel lamp, alerting the
operator. A fuel drain valve handle on the housing can
be opened to drain water from the fuel filter housing.
Optional Features
An air compressor is available for applications
requiring air brakes or air suspension.
A hydraulic power steering pump can be used with or
without an air compressor.
The front cover includes a mounting flange for Power
Take Off (PTO) accessories. The air compressor drive
gear train, used with a spline adapter, provides power
for front mounted PTO accessories.
An optional Engine Fuel Pressure (EFP) sensor
detects low pressure caused by high fuel filter
restriction and sends a signal to the ECM; the ECM
illuminates the amber FUEL FILTER lamp on the
instrument panel.
The Diamond Logic® exhaust brake system uses only
the VGT to restrict exhaust flow for additional braking.
The operator controls the exhaust brake for different
operating conditions.
The Diamond Logic® engine brake is new for medium
range diesel engines. This compression braking
system uses a high-pressure rail assembly and the
VGT for additional braking. The operator controls the
engine brake for different operating conditions.
The Inlet Air Heater (IAH) warms intake air entering
the cylinder head.
Options for vehicles and applications used in cold
climates include the following:
•Oil pan heater
The oil pan heater warms engine oil in the pan and
ensures oil flow to the injectors.
•Coolant heater
The coolant heater raises the temperature of
coolant surrounding the cylinders for improved
performance and fuel economy during start-up.
•Fuel heater
The fuel heater (a 300 watt element) in the base of
the fuel filter assembly heats the fuel for improved
performance.
