Bleeding water from diesel

Move accelerator control lever fully to end of its stroke; if top speed of 5150±50/min is exceeded, tighten top speed adjustment screw until engine rpm is as specified. Then tighten locknut of screw (11) and apply seal.

Bleeding water from diesel

Each time the oil is changed, bleed off the water from the fuel filter as follows:

• unscrew water bleed screw (B) under filter,
• unscrew air bleed screw (C) above the filter.

Let water and fuel emerge until no more water is present, then tighten water bleed screw (B) and air bleed screw (C).

Replacing cartridge fuel filter

Change diesel filter every 15,000 km. Proceed as follows to change:

• lubricate rubber cartridge seal,
• fill filter cartridge with diesel (in order to reduce self-bleeding period),
• tighten cartridge until it touches the mount,
• tighten cartridge by 3/4 turn (to obtain torque of 1.3 - 1.6 daNm).

This is achieved using numbered notches engraved on the cartridge. For example when the cartridge is moved into contact with the mount, make a mark on the mount against one of the notches engraved on the filter. Then tighten filter through 6 further notches after the reference notch.
