idle speed.

4. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the locknut on
the injector pump.
5. Turn the adjustment screw either clockwise to
increase the engine speed or anti-clockwise to
decrease the speed. Run the engine at an
increased speed for a few seconds then check
the idle speed again.
6. When the correct speed has been achieved,
hold the adjuster screw steady while tightening
the locknut.
NOTE: The low idle speed control is the
only permitted adjustment in service. Any
additional adjustments required must be
entrusted to authorised Bosch agents.
