SP4. AIR FILTER

1.  Inspect air cleaner every 250 hours, replace 

the fi lter every 750 hours, or yearly, whichever 
comes fi rst.

2.  After replacing element and cover, start engine 

and check for air leaks.

NOTE:  Make absolutely sure no impurities enter 

the engine while changing the element. Do not 
run the engine with the air cleaner removed.

SP5. V-BELTS

1.  Check the tension and wear on the V-belts after 

every 50 hours.

2.  Use your thumb to press on the belt at the 

midpoint between the crankshaft and alternator 
pulleys. The tension is correct if the belts can be 
depressed about 1/2" (14-17 mm) with 13 lb. (6 kg) 
pressure.

3.  Belts that operate in pairs should both be replaced 
 

in pairs, even if only one of them needs to be 
replaced.

SP6. VALVE CLEARANCES

1.  Check the valve clearances after the fi rst 
 

100 hours, and every 750 hours thereafter.

2.  Shut off fuel supply. Turn off battery switch.
3.  Remove the valve cover. Use a breaker bar with a 

27 mm socket to rotate the crankshaft in a clock-
wise direction. Align the “

1.6 TOP

” mark on the 

vibration damper with the pointer. In this posi-
tion No. 1 cylinder is at top dead center of the 
compression stroke, and No. 6 cylinder's intake 
valves will start to move. (See Fig. 10).

Figure 10.

4.   Adjust the valve clearance for valves marked with 

an “

X

” in Fig. 11.

5.  Rotate the crankshaft in clockwise direction one 

complete revolution until “

1.6 TOP

” is again at 

the pointer and adjust the valve clearance for the 
valves marked with an “

O

” in Fig. 11.

.

6.  To adjust the valve clearance, loosen nut on 

adjustment screw, insert feeler gauge between

 

the valve stem and rocker arm, and adjust the 
clearance with the adjustment screw until the 
thickness gauge slides with a slight drag. After the 
clearance is properly adjusted, tighten the lock nut 
to secure the adjustment screw using 29 to 36 foot 
lbs. of torque (4-5 kgm).

7.  Valves should be set cold with the following 
 clearances:

 

a.   Intake Valves .013 in. (.33 mm).

 

b.    Exhaust Valves .026 in. (.66 mm).

8.  Rotate the engine one full revolution and adjust 

valves with “

O

” to above clearances.

 

NOTE:  The fi ring order is 1-5-3-6-2-4.

FUELS - GENERAL

1.  Use only clean, high quality fuels of the following 

specifi cations, as defi ned by ASTM designation 
D975 for diesel fuels:

a.  Use grade No. 2 diesel at ambient tempera-

tures above freezing 32

o

F (0

o

C).

b.  Use grade No. 1 at ambient temperatures 

below freezing and for all temperatures at an 
altitude of above 5,500 ft. (1500 meters).

2.  Use fuel having less than 1% sulphur (preferably 

less than 0.5%).

3.  The cetane number should be a minimum of 45.
4.  DO NOT use these unsuitable grades of fuel:

a.  Domestic heating oils, all types.

b.  Class B engine.

c.  Class D domestic fuels.

d.  Class E, F, G or H industrial or marine fuels.

e.  ASTM-D975-60T No. 4-D and higher 

number fuels.
