Draining Procedure
The indicator light will come on when the water level in the
water separator exceeds the specified level.
Drain the water and foreign material from the water
separator (inside chassis frame) with the following
procedure.





1. Place the drain pan under the drain plug.
2. Loosen the drain plug and drain water.
3. After draining the water, tighten the drain plug.
4. Operate the priming pump on the fuel filter several times and check for fuel leakage.
5. Check the water separator indicator light. It should be off.

Air Bleeding
1. Operate the priming pump until strong resistance is felt.
2. W ait 1 minute, and operate the priming pump until strong resistance is felt.
3. Once more wait, and operate the priming pump until strong resistance is felt.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. W ait until the glow indicator lamp turns off.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "START" position and crank the engine until it starts.
6. If the engine does not start, repeat Step 3 - 5.
7. Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes to bleed air completely form the fuel system and check for fuel
leakage.
Note:
Insufficient air bleeding may cause the Diagnostic

COOLING SYSTEM
Coolant Level
Check the coolant level and replenish the radiator reserve
tank as necessary.
If the coolant level falls below the “MIN” line, carefully
check the cooling system for leakage. Then add enough
coolant to bring the level up to the “MAX” line.



Engine coolant Filling up procedure
1. Make sure that the engine is cool.
Warning:
When the coolant is heated to a high temperature, be
sure not to loosen or remove the rediator cap.
Otherwise you might get scalded by hot vapor or
boiling water.
To open the radiator cap, put a piece of thick cloth on
the cap and loosen the cap slowly to reduce the
pressure when the coolant has become cooler.
2. Open rediator cap pour coolant up to filler neck
3. Pour coolant into reservoir tank up to “MAX” line
4. Tighten radiator cap and start the engine. After idling for 2 to 3 minutes, stop the engine and reopen radiator
cap. If the water level is lower, replenish.
5. After replenish the coolant tighten radiator cap, warm up the engine at about 2000 rpm. Set heater
adjustment to the highest temperature position, and let
the coolant circulate also into heater water system.
6. Check to see the thermometer, continuously idling 5 minutes and stop the engine.
7. W hen the engine has been cooled, check filler neck for water level and replenish if required. Should
extreme shortage of coolant is found, check the
coolant system and reservoir tank hose for leakage.
8. Pour coolant into the reservoir tank up to “MAX” line.

Cooling System Inspection
Install a radiator filler cap tester to the radiator. Apply
testing pressure to the cooling system to check for
leakage. The testing pressure must not exceed the
specified pressure.

Testing Pressure kPa(kg/cm

150 (1.5/21)



Radiator Cap Inspection
The radiator filler cap is designed to maintain coolant
pressure in the cooling system at 103 kPa(1.05 kg/cm2,
15psi).
Check the radiator filler cap with a radiator filler cap tester.
The radiator filler cap must be replaced if it fails to hold the
specified pressure during the test procedure.
