Ensure that the level of fuel in the tank is sufficient and bleed in the following order:
- Lift up the overhead guard or the cab (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
BLEEDING THE FUEL FILTER
- Loosen bleed screw 1 (fig. G1/1).
- Switch on the lift truck ignition until the diesel oil flows from the bleeder screw free of any air.
- Tighten the bleed screw while the diesel fuel is flowing out.
BLEEDING THE INJECTION PUMP
- Open the bleed valve 2 (fig. G1/2).
- Switch on the lift truck ignition until the diesel oil flows from the bleeder screw free of any
air.
- Seal the bleed valve while the diesel oil is flowing.
The I.C. engine is then ready to be started up.
NOTE: If the I.C. engine functions correctly for a shor t time then stops or functions
irregularly, check for possible leaks in the low pressure circuit. If in doubt, contact
your dealer.
