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.

Air Bleeding
1. Operate the priming pump until strong resistance is felt.
2. W ait 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. W ait 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:

Coolant Replenishment
Warning:
When the coolant is heated to a high temperature, be
sure not to loosen or remove the rediator cap.
Otherwise you might get scalded by hot vapor or
boiling water.
To open the radiator cap, put a piece of thick cloth on
the cap and loosen the cap slowly to reduce the
pressure when the coolant has become cooler.
1. Open rediator cap pour coolant up to filler neck
2. Pour coolant into reservoir tank up to "MAX" line
3. Tighten radiator cap and start the engine. After idling for 2 to 3 minutes, stop the engine and reopen radiator
cap. If the water level is lower, replenish.
4. After replenish the coolant tighten radiator cap, warm up the engine at about 2000 rpm. Set heater
adjustment to the highest temperature position, and let
the coolant circulate also into heater water system.
5. Check to see the thermometer, continuously idling 5 minutes and stop the engine.
6. W hen the engine has been cooled, check filler neck for water level and replenish if required. Should extreme
shortage of coolant is found, check the coolant system
and reservoir tank hose for leakage.
7. Pour coolant into the reservoir tank up to "MAX" line.

Engine Warm-Up
After completing the required maintenance procedures,
start the engine and allow it to idle until it is warm.
Check the following:
1. Engine idling speed.
2. Engine noise level.
3. Engine lubricating system and cooling system. Carefully check for oil and coolant leakage.
4. Clutch engagement.
5. Transmission operation.
6. Indicator warning light operation.

If the run-out is very slight, correct the rocker arm shaft
run-out with a bench press. The rocker arm must be at cold
condition.
If the measured rocker arm shaft run-out exceeds the
specified limit, the rocker arm shaft must be replaced.

3. Check that the rocker arm oil port is free of obstructions. If necessary, use compressed air to clean the rocker arm
oil port.




Rocker Arm Correction
Inspect the rocker arm valve stem contact surfaces for step
wear (1) and scoring (2).
If the contact surfaces have light step wear or scoring, they
may be honed with an oil stone.
If the step wear or scoring is severe, the rocker arm must be
replaced.

slight decreases in cylinder liner clearances. Always
measure the cylinder liner clearance after installation
to be sure that it is correct.



TAPPET AND PUSH ROD
Visually inspect the tappet contact surfaces for pitting,
cracking, and other abnormal conditions. The tappet must be
replaced if any of these conditions are present.
Refer to the illustration at the left.
1. Normal contact
