discharge must be finely and uniformly atomized. Any change is an indication of a bad
nozzle.
7. If the nozzle is bad, remove the tip from the nozzle and wash
needle valve and body in clean washing solution. And if the
nozzle is still bad after the tip has been washed, replace the
tip. When installing the new tip, remove synthetic resin film
from the tip and slide the needle valve in the body in clean
diesel fuel to wash off inhibitor completely
8. The washer shown on figure must be replaced.
When testing the injection nozzle, keep its tip pointed away from the operator. Fuel from the
orifices in the tip of the nozzle is under high pressure and can cause injury to the operator.
Maintenance task. Bleeding air from the fuel system
On the first start-up of the engine, and if this has operated with the fuel tank empty, air may enter the
feed system, and it is necessary to purge this. To carry out the priming/purge of the fuel system,
proceed as follows:
1. Check fuel cock located at the tank delivery is open.
2. For engines equiped with Ronim-V and SMI gearboxes, then operate repeatedly (for
6 or 7 times) the lever ofthe fuel pump). If the manual pump valve is clogged,
difficult bleddingcan result. In such a case, remove the air vent bolt and inlet-side
hose from the filter and clean the valve with presssure air.
3. For engines equiped with electrical priming puma, operate the key to “ON” position.
Do not run the starter motor for more than 20 seconds at a time.
The air bledding from the injection pump and from the injectors is automatic.
Once this operations have been terminated proceed to start the engine.
When fuel overflows from the injection pipes, wipe thoroughly with a cloth. Spilled
fuel is a fire hazard.
