Draining Procedure
The indicator light will come on when the water level in the
water separator exceeds the specified level.
Drain the water and foreign material from the water
separator (inside chassis frame) with the following
procedure.
1. Place the drain pan under the drain plug.
2. Loosen the drain plug and drain water.
3. After draining the water, tighten the drain plug.
4. Operate the priming pump on the fuel filter several
times and check for fuel leakage.
5. Check the water separator indicator light. It should be
off.
Except EURO III model
RTW46ASH002901
For EURO III model
RTW46ASH000501
Air Bleeding
1. Operate the priming pump until strong resistance is
felt.
2. Wait 1 minute, and operate the priming pump until
strong resistance is felt.
3. Once more wait, and operate the priming pump until
strong resistance is felt.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. Wait until
the glow indicator lamp turns off.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "START" position and
crank the engine until it starts.
6. If the engine does not start, repeat Step 3 - 5.
7. Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes to bleed air
completely form the fuel system and check for fuel
leakage.
Note:
Insufficient air bleeding may cause the Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) store or improper engine
performance.
