SERVICING
Servicing refers to general maintenance procedures to
be performed by qualified service personnel.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION
Engine Serial Number
The engine number is stamped on the rear left hand
side of the cylinder body.
AIR CLEANER
Oil Wetted (Viscous) Type Paper Element.
The air cleaner has an oil wetted paper element. No
servicing is required until the replacement interval is
reached.
Never attempt to clean the element, no matter how dirty
it may appear. The element is designed to provide
normal filtering efficiency until it becomes due for
replacement.
Refer to the Item “Service and Maintenance” in the
Owner’s and Driver’s Manual for general service
information.
LUBRICATING SYSTEM
Main Oil Filter (Cartridge Type Paper Element)
Replacement Procedure
1. Loosen the drain plug to drain the engine oil.
2. Wait a few minutes and then retighten the drain
plug.
3. Loosen the used oil filter by turning it counter-
clockwise with the filter wrench.
4. Clean the oil cooler fitting face.
This will allow the new oil filter to seat properly.
5. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the O-ring.
6. Turn the new oil filter until the filter O-ring is fitted
against the sealing face.
7. Use the filter wrench to turn the filter additional one
and 1/4 turns.

8. Check the engine oil level and replenish to the
specified level if required.
9. Start the engine and check for oil leakage from the
main oil filter.
FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel filter
Replacement Procedure
1. Loosen the used fuel filter by turning it
counterclockwise with the filter wrench.
Filter Wrench : 5-8840-0203-0
2. Clean the filter cover fitting faces.
This will allow the new fuel filter to seat properly.
3. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the O-ring.
4. Turn the fuel filter until the sealing face comes in
contact with the O-ring.
5. Turn the fuel filter with a filter wrench 2/3 of a turn
until sealed.
Filter Wrench: 5-8840-0203-0Legend
(1) Priming pump
6. Operate the priming pump until the air is discharged
completely from fuel system.
NOTE: The use of an Isuzu genuine fuel filter is
strongly recommended.
COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant Level
Check the coolant level and replenish the radiator
reserve tank as necessary.
If the coolant level falls below the “‘MIN” line, carefully
check the cooling system for leakage. Then add
enough coolant to bring the level up to the “MAX” line.
NOTE: Do not overfill the reserve tank.
