Water Separator, Diesel Engine
There is a sending unit in the bottom of the water
separator that detects water in the fuel. If the indi-
cator light on the instrument cluster is on when the
engine is running, there is water in the water sep-
arator. See the procedure Drain Water From Water
Separator.
Drain Water From Water Separator
1.
Turn wing nut to open drain valve on bottom of
water separator. Drain some fuel (and any wa-
ter) into a container until clean fuel flows from
water separator.
2.
Turn wing nut to close drain valve.
Fuel Filter, Diesel Engine
Install new fuel filter every 1000 hours or 6 months
of operation. If there is a problem with water in
the diesel fuel in your area, the fuel filter must be
changed more frequently than 1000 hours. See Fig-
ure 30.
Diesel Fuel System, Remove Air
The fuel-injection pump will normally remove small
amounts of air from the fuel system when the engine
is started. If the fuel pump, fuel-injection pump, or
the fuel filter is empty, it is necessary to disconnect
a fitting and fill the components of the fuel system
before the engine will start. After 1000 hours of op-
eration, perform the procedure Diesel Fuel System
Air Removal.
Control Levers and Pedals
Check that control levers for transmission, mast, and
attachment operate as described in the Operating
Manual. Check that pedals operate correctly as de-
scribed in the Operating Manual.
Lift System, Operate
WARNING
When working on or near the mast, see Safety
Procedures When Working Near Mast at the
end of this section.
Lower the lift mechanism completely. Never
allow any person under a raised carriage. Do
not put any part of your body in or through
the lift mechanism unless all parts of the mast
are completely lowered and the engine is
STOPPED.
Do not try to find hydraulic leaks by putting
hands on pressurized hydraulic components.
Hydraulic oil can be injected into the body by
the pressure.
Do the following checks and inspections:
1.
Check for leaks in hydraulic system. Check the
condition of hydraulic hoses and tubes.
NOTE:
Some parts of the mast move at different
speeds during raising and lowering.
2.
Slowly raise and lower mast several times with-
out a load. Raise mast to its full height at least
once. The mast components must raise and lower
smoothly in the correct sequence.
The inner weldments and the carriage must
lower completely.
