MAINTENANCE TASK
1. Water or foreign material in fuel can ruin the injection system. If daily inspection
shows water or excessive dirt in sediment bowl, fuel handling and storing facilities
should be checked and situation corrected. Primary and secondary fuel filters can
be replaced following correction of fuel contamination problem.
2. This service must be conducted by trained diesel injection equipment personnel
with suitable test facilities. Omit this service until these conditions can be met.
3. Tighten head bolts and adjust valve clearance after first 50 hours on new and over-
hauled engines, and then adjust valve clearance each 500 hours thereafter.
