Clean Diesel Fuel
Diesel Fuel should be poured so that no sediment can enter
the tractor fuel tank whilst it is being filled. Fuel storage
facilities should allow for the periodic removal of sediment
from the bottom of the storage tank.
The Diesel fuel filters will remove any sediment still present
in the fuel and ensure that the fuel reaching the injection
pump and injectors is free of impurities. The fuel filter
should be serviced regularly to ensure maximum engine
reliability.
Bleeding the fuel filter
The presence of air in the fuel can cause fuel stopages. The
air should be completely bled so that the machine operates
satisfactorily. Loosen the banjo bolt (B) on FIP side of filter.
Operate hand primer (A) on fuel filter till you get the flow
of fuel free of air from the banjo. Re-tighten the banjo
bolt (B).
Bleeding the Fuel Injection Pump
Loosen the High-Pressure pipes at the nozzle end. Operate
the hand primer (A) on fuel filter till you get a streamline
flow of fuel from the High-Pressure pipes. Retighten the
High-Pressure pipes and start the engine. Observe till the
engine runs smoothly and then shut-off till further use.
Fuel Tank and Fuel Pipes
Fill the tank each time the tractor finishes the days work.
This prevents condensation inside the fuel tank. Check
regularly to ensure all fuel pipe unions are tight and in
good order. Ensure that vent hole provided on fuel tank cap
is not choked. Water or dirt settled in the bottom of fuel
tank should be drained daily, before starting the engine by
loosening the drain cock till clean diesel flows.
Tamper Proofing
Calibration of Fuel Injection Pump calibration plays a vital
role in Engine performance and hence the same shall not be
disturbed by unauthorised persons.
In order to prevent tampering, a tamper-proof arrangement
is provided on Fuel Injection Pump consisting of SPECIAL
SEALS. Any FIP related work should be carried at
Mahindra / BOSCH authorised dealership.
Escaping hydraulic diesel fluid under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Do not use your hand to check for leaks. Use
piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.
Stop engine and relieve pressure before
connecting or disconnecting lines.
Tighten all connections before pressurizing
lines.
If any fluid is injected into the skin obtain
medical attention immediately or else, serious
injury may result.
