(1) Fuel Pipe (2) Tightening Band
CHECKING FUEL LINES (U)
Although checking the fuel pipe con-
nection is recommended every 100
service hours, it should be done ev-
ery 6 months if operation does not
exceed 100 hours in 6 months.
1. If the hose clamps are loose, apply
a slight coat of lubricant onto the
threads and securely tighten it.
2. The fuel pipe is made of rubber
and ages regardless of period of
service. Change the fuel pipe to-
gether with the hose clamps every
two years and securely tighten.
BLEEDING BRAKE FLUID LINE (T2)
(1) Drive Pump (2) Air Plug
1. Open the air plug of the fuel lter
and operate the drive pump to
bleed the fuel line.
2. When there is no more air bubbles
in fuel flown out through the air
plug, the fuel line is fully bled.
Then, close the air plug.

Never bleed the fuel system
while the engine is hot.
•
CAUTION
After bleeding, fuel without air
bubbles is ltered by the fuel
lter and is transferred to the
fuel injection pump. Maintain
the proper fuel level in the fuel
tank before the fuel tank be-
comes empty. If all fuel is com-
pletely consumed in a Diesel
engine, fuel should be added
to the fuel tank and then the
fuel system should be bled.
•
IMPORTANT
If the engine cannot be started
even after bleeding the fuel sys-
tem, contact your local Dealer.
