C15 - FUEL FILTER
CLEAN
- Set the lifting platform on a horizontal surface, with the engine switched off.
- Open the left-hand cowl.
- Close the fuel tap 1 (Fig. C15/1) to the OFF position.
- Carefully clean the exterior of the filter and its holder to prevent dust from entering the system.
- Unscrew the retaining ring 2, remove the container 3 (Fig. C15/2) and clean the interior with a
paintbrush impregnated with clean diesel.
- Remove the filter cartridge 4 (Fig. C15/2) and plunge it in diesel to rinse it.
- Refit the assembly.
- Open the fuel tap 1 (Fig. C15/1) to the ON position.
- Bleed the fuel supply circuit (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: G1 – FUEL SUPPLY CIRCUIT).
If the fuel is contaminated with dust or dirt, the injection pump and the
injectors wear more rapidly. To avoid this, regularly clean the fuel filter
container.
C16 - ALTERNATOR/FAN/CRANKSHAFT BELT TENSION
ADJUST
- Open the left-hand cowl.
- Check the condition of the belt for signs of wear or cracking and replace, it if necessary (see
3 - MAINTENANCE: FILTER ELEMENTS AND BELTS).
- Check the tension between the crankshaft and alternator pulleys.
- Under thumb pressure (98 N), the tension A (Fig. C16/1) should be 7 to 9 mm (Fig. C16/1).
- Adjust, if necessary.
- Loosen the bolts 1 (Fig. C16/2) two or three turns.
- Swivel the alternator assembly to get the required belt tension.
- Retighten the bolts 1 (fig. C16/2).
If you replace the alternator belt, recheck the belt tension after the first 20
hours of operation.
