5. Check initial injection pressure by pumping tester handle
slowly (one time per second).
Injection pressure:
12,749 kPa (127.5 bar, 130 kg/cm
2, 1,849 psi)

Always check initial injection pressure before installing
new nozzle.
6. Check fuel spray pattern by pumping tester handle quickly (4
or 6 times 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).
7. If spray is not correct, clean injection nozzle tip or replace it.
Refer to EC section for injection pressure adjustment, clean-
ing and replacement.
8. Install all injection nozzles with S.S.T. KV119E0030 and
securely connect fuel spill hoses and delivery tubes.
9. Bleed air from fuel system and check for fuel leakage with
engine running.
