Changing Oil Filter
1. Remove oil filter with a suitable tool.
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and the engine
oil are hot.
2. Before installing a new oil filter, clean the oil filter mounting
surface on cylinder block, and coat the rubber seal of oil fil-
ter with a little engine oil.
3. Screw in the oil filter until a slight resistance is felt, then
tighten additionally more than 2/3 turn.
4. Add engine oil.
Refer to ``Changing Engine Oil'', MA-19.
Checking and Changing Spark Plugs
1. Disconnect ignition wires from spark plugs at boot.
Do not pull on the wire.
2. Remove spark plugs with spark plug wrench.
3. Clean plugs in sand blast cleaner.
4. Check insulator for cracks or chips, gasket for damage or
deterioration and electrode for wear and burning. If they are
excessively worn away, replace with new spark plugs.

5. Wipe clean fuel filter mounting surface on fuel filter bracket
and smear a little fuel on rubber seal of fuel filter.
6. Screw fuel filter on until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten
an additional more than 2/3 of a turn.
7. Install fuel filter sensor to new fuel filter. (Type A)
8. Bleed air from fuel line.
Refer to Bleeding Fuel System in EC section.
9. Start engine and check for leaks.
DRAINING WATER
1. Drain water as follows.
Type A
Loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock 4 to 5 turns causes water to start
draining. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it exces-
sively.
If water does not drain properly, move the priming pump up and
down.
Type B
Loosen air bleeder screw from the sedimentor cover and then
loosen drain cock and drain water.
Loosening drain cock 4 to 5 turns causes water to start
draining. Do not remove drain cock by loosening it exces-
sively.
2. Bleed air.
Refer to Bleeding Fuel System in EC section.
Checking Fuel Lines
Check fuel lines and tank for proper attachment, leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
CAUTION:
Keep clean parts with compressed air when assembling.

3. Check spray pattern by pumping tester handle one full stroke
per second.
a. If main spray angle is within 30 degrees as shown, injec-
tion nozzle is good.
b. It is still normal even if a thin stream of spray deviates
from main spray (pattern B).
4. If initial injection pressure or injection nozzle is not normal,
adjust or clean injection nozzle.
5. Test again. If it is not corrected, replace nozzle.
Refer to EC section for injection pressure adjustment, clean-
ing and replacement.
6. Install all injection nozzles with Tool and securely connect
fuel spill tube and delivery tubes.
7. Bleed air from fuel system and check for fuel leakage with
engine running.
Injection nozzle to cylinder head:
:54-64Nzm (5.5 - 6.5 kg-m, 40 - 47 ft-lb)
Spill tube nut:
:29-39Nzm (3.0 - 4.0 kg-m, 22 - 29 ft-lb)
Injection tube:
:20-25Nzm (2.0 - 2.5 kg-m, 14 - 18 ft-lb)
Checking Idle Speed
Preparation
1. Make sure that injection timing is correct.
2. Make sure that injection nozzles are in good condition.
3. Make sure that the following parts are in good condition.
lAir cleaner clogging
lGlow system
lEngine oil and coolant levels
lValve clearance
lAir intake system (Oil filler cap, oil level gauge, etc.)
4. Set shift lever in ``Neutral'' position. Engage parking brake
and lock both front and rear wheels with wheel chocks.
5. Turn off air conditioner, lights and accessories.
6. Make sure that idle control knob is fully released and idle
adjusting screw contacts accelerator control lever.

Checking Fluid Leakage (For power steering)
Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage,
chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine between idle speed and 1,000 rpm.
lMake sure temperature of fluid in reservoir tank rises to
60 to 80ÉC (140 to 176ÉF).
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each ``lock'' position for five seconds
and carefully check for fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold steering wheel at lock position for more than 15
seconds.
4. If fluid leakage from any line is noticed, loosen flare nut and
then retighten.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring,
washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage from power steering pump is noticed, check
power steering pump. Refer to ST-34.
6. If fluid leakage from power steering gear is noticed, check
power steering gear. Refer to ST-19 (PB48S), or ST-27
(PB59K).
Bleeding Hydraulic System (For power
steering)
1. Raise front end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the
ground.
2. Add fluid to reservoir tank to specified level. Then quickly turn
steering wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steer-
ing stoppers.
Repeat steering wheel operation until fluid level no longer
decreases.
3. Start engine.
Repeat step 2 above.
lIncomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur:
a. Air bubbles in reservoir tank
b. Clicking noise in power steering pump
c. Excessive buzzing in power steering pump
When this happens, bleed air again.
Fluid noise may occur in the valve or power steering pump. This
is common when the vehicle is stationary or while turning the
steering wheel slowly. This does not affect the performance or
durability of the system.

Tilt mechanism
After installing steering column, check tilt mechanism operation.
Inspection
lWhen steering wheel does not turn smoothly, check the
steering column as follows and replace damaged parts.
a. Check column bearings for damage or unevenness. Lubri-
cate with recommended multi-purpose grease or replace
steering column as an assembly, if necessary.
b. Check jacket tube for deformation or breakage. Replace if
necessary.
lWhen the vehicle is involved in a light collision, check dimen-
sion ``L''. If it is not within specifications, replace steering
column as an assembly.
Column length ``L'':
RHD KA24 engine
822.1 - 823.7 mm (32.37 - 32.43 in)
Except RHD KA24 engine
