FIG. 138: Element may be cleaned (if in serviceable
condition) using following procedures:
• Using compressed air not to exceed 200 kPa (30 psi)
from the inside of the element, remove loose dirt,
grass, chaff, etc. Be careful not to damage element
pleats with air flow.
• If the element is coated with oil or soot:
1. Prepare solution of warm water and non-foaming
detergent.
2. Soak the element for 30 minutes.
3. Agitate the element in solution until oil and soot
are loosened.
4. Rinse the element until rinse water is clear.
5. Allow the element to completely dry. Do not dry by
using compressed air or heat.
• After cleaning (or washing) the element examine for
pin holes, punctures, or tears. If the element paper,
canister or seal show any signs of physical damage,
the element must be replaced.
NOTE: Replaced an element which has already been
washed 5 times.
FUEL SYSTEM
Use only clean diesel fuel of correct grade. Introduction
of water or dirt into the fuel tank or other part of the fuel
system can cause repeated plugging of the fuel filter and
possible injection pump and injector damage.
IMPORTANT: Do not tamper with injection pump or
injector adjustment. Such tampering will
spoil engine itself and / or cause severe
engine damage. And warranty will not be
covered for the machine with such tam-
pering.
Fuel Filter
FIG. 139: Fuel filter assembly, 1, is located at the right
side of the engine, and is used to strain impurities from
fuel before fuel reaches the injection pump.
Check the filter bowl for accumulation of sediment or
water and clean as required.
