INSTALLATION
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 1 & 2, unless
otherwise specified.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury and property
damage, be sure lifting equipment is properly
secured and of adequate capacity to do the job
safely.
1. Using suitable lifting equipment, position fuel tank
(1) assembly on the frame.
2. Secure the fuel tank (1) assembly to the frame with
bolts (14 & 18), washers (15 & 19), lockwashers
(13 & 16) and locknuts (11 & 17), as shown.
3. Remove blanking caps and secure fuel lines
(4, 5, 21 & 30 Figs. 3 & 4) to connectors (2, 19 Figs. 3
& 4) and elbows (1 & 18 Figs. 3 & 4), as identified at
removal.
4. Install fuel strainer (12) in fuel tank (1).
5. Fill fuel tank (1) assembly with clean diesel fuel
specified in Section 300-0020, LUBRICATION
SYSTEM.
6. Install filler cap (2) assembly on fuel tank filler neck.
Tighten filler cap (2) securely and secure in place with
padlock (20).
7. Place the battery master switch in the 'On' position,
start the engine and run for a few minutes to ensure
fuel is being supplied to the engine. Check for leaks at
fuel lines (4, 5, 21 & 30, Fig. 3 & 4) and tighten if
required.
8. Remove wheel blocks from all road wheels.
MAINTENANCE
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 1 & 2, unless
otherwise specified.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury and property
damage, be sure wheel blocks and blocking
materials are properly secured and of adequate
capacity to do the job safely.
General
Refill fuel tank (1) at the end of each day's operation to
prevent condensation from contaminating the fuel.
Ensure vent hole in filler cap (2) is clear to prevent a
vacuum from building up in fuel tank (1).
When filling fuel tank (1), check that there is no buildup
of dirt and sludge at fuel strainer (12) and filler cap (2).
Remove and clean fuel strainer (12) and filler cap (2)
as required.
Every 10 Hours/Daily
Make a visual check for fuel leaks at all fuel lines and
connections. Make sure that fuel lines (4, 9, 18 & 25,
Figs. 3 & 4) are not resting on or touching rotating
components, heated surfaces including exhaust
manifolds, or sharp edges. If fittings have loosened or
cracked, or if lines have ruptured or worn through, take
corrective action immediately.
Every 500 Hours
Remove drain plug (9) from the underside of fuel tank
(1) and drain off any water or sediment which has
gathered. Check condition of filler cap (2) and clean
fuel strainer (12) and filler cap (2) with clean fuel.
Check the condition of all fuel lines and replace if
required.
Diesel Fuel Oil
The sulphur content of diesel fuel oil should be as low
as possible to avoid premature wear of piston rings
and line, excessive deposit formation, and minimise
sulphur dioxide exhausted into the atmosphere.
Limited amounts can be tolerated, but the amount of
sulphur in the fuel and engine operating conditions can
influence corrosion and deposit formation tendencies.
The use of diesel fuel oil with a MAXIMUM sulphur
content of 0.5% is recommended for use. Refer to
Section 300-0020, LUBRICATION SYSTEM.
SERVICE TOOLS
There are no special tools required for procedures
outlined in this section. Refer to Section 300-0070,
SERVICE TOOLS, for part numbers of general service
tools required. These tools are available from your
dealer.
