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.

Cleaning and Replacing Air Cleaner Filter
VISCOUS PAPER TYPE
The viscous paper type air cleaner filter does not require any
cleaning operation between renewal.
Checking Injection Nozzle
WARNING:
When using nozzle tester, be careful not to allow diesel fuel
sprayed from nozzle to come into contact with your hand or
body, and make sure that your eyes are properly protected.
1. Install nozzle to injection nozzle tester and bleed air from
flare nut.
2. Check initial injection pressure by pumping tester handle one
full stroke per second.
Initial injection pressure:
Used nozzle
9,807 - 10,297 kPa
(98.1 - 103.0 bar, 100 - 105 kg/cm
2,
1,422 - 1,493 psi)
New nozzle
10,297 - 11,278 kPa
(103.0 - 112.8 bar, 105 - 115 kg/cm
2,
1,493 - 1,635 psi)
lAlways check initial injection pressure before installing
new nozzle.

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.

lWarm up engine until engine coolant
temperature indicator points to middle
of gauge.
lAttach tachometer's pick-up to No. 1
fuel injection tube.
In order to take accurate reading of
engine rpm, remove clamps that
secure No. 1 fuel injection tube.
Start engine.
Run engine at about 2,000 rpm for about
2 minutes under no-load.b
Run engine for one minute at idle speed.
Check idle speed.

cNG
Adjust idle speed by turn-
ing idle speed adjusting
screw.
END
lRev engine two or three times and allow engine to return
to idle speed. If idle speed is not within the specified
range, check acceleration linkage for binding and cor-
rect it if necessary.
AIR CONDITIONER EQUIPPED MODEL
1. Make certain that the clearance between the actuator idle
control lever pin and the injection pump control lever is within
the specified limits.
Clearance:1-2mm(0.04 - 0.08 in)
2. Adjust idle speed to specified rpm without the air conditioner
operating.
3. Then check the idle speed when the air conditioner is oper-
ating and make sure it is correct.
Unit: rpm
