4. V-Belt Tension
Check the V-belt tension midway between the crankshaft
pulley and alternator pulley (Fig. 4.8C). Deflection should
be between 1/4 to 3/8 in. (7-9 mm).
5. Adding Fuel
Use No. 2 diesel fuel only. Total tank capacity 18 gal. (68
L). Before adding fuel to the loader the key switch must
be off and the engine must be cool. Remove the fuel cap
(Fig. 4.8D). Use a clean approved safety container to add
fuel. Add fuel only in an area that is well ventilated and
away from open flames or sparks - NO SMOKING!
6. Fuel Filter Replacement
The fuel filter is located in the engine compartment on the
left hand side (Fig. 4.8E). The fuel filter should be
removed every 100 hours and any water or dirt found in
the element drained off. Change the filter every 300 hours.
To replace the filter; close the fuel inlet line shut - off
located on the side of the fuel tank (Fig. 4.8E). Remove the
filter element (Fig. 4.8E). Lubricate the seal on the new
filter and install the filter hand tight. Open the fuel inlet
shut - off. It may be necessary to remove air from the fuel
system after changing the filter element. (Refer to Section
4.8-8).
7. Bleeding the Fuel System
Air must be removed from the fuel, after replacement of
the fuel filter element, or when the tank has been run out
of fuel, before starting the engine.
To remove air, ensure the fuel inlet shut-off located on the
side of the fuel tank is open (fig. 4.8E). Open the bleed
valve by turning it counter clockwise (fig. 4.8F) on top of
the injector pump. Place the throttle at idle, then turn the
engine over with the starter. After the engine starts and
runs smoothly, shut off the engine and close the bleed
valve by turning it clockwise.
