Fuel System

Fuel Filter

This filter provides clean, moisture free fuel for the injection process. A hand primer is provided to manually remove excess air from the fuel filter and fuel lines.

Major Components:

•Hand Primer (F)

•Air Bleeding Screw (G)

•Fuel Filter (D)

Fuel enters the filter at inlet (A) and flows through the filter element separating water it contains before flowing through outlets (B) to the fuel injection pump.

Since water and contaminants settle at the bottom of the sediment bowl, a drain plug is provided at the bottom of the filter. Drain water in fuel, by loosening drain plug once every 50 hrs. of operation.

To drain water in fuel, loosen the drain plug upto 1 or 2 turns. During loosening drain plug, place a small tray to collect the water coming from pipe (C). Retighten the drain plug by hand.

Servicing the fuel filter

1.It is recommended to replace the fuel filter every 500 hrs.

2.To remove Filter, unscrew the filter (D) from adaptor (E).

3.Check O'rings of fuel filter for any crack / damage. Smear oil on the new O'ring before installation.

4.Clean the adaptor with clean diesel from inlet and outlet. Ensure no dirt, foreign particles entangled in flap valves or filter head.

5.Assemble the new filter. Do not over tighten.

6.Prime the system and bleed the filter. Tighten the bleeding screw.

Note : Drain water once in a week or earlier if water contamination is excessive. Continued driving with water accumulation in fuel filter will cause damage to fuel pump / other fuel system components.

Note : Replace fuel filter at the recommended period or whenever it gets clogged. Discard the old filter and do not repair or clean the filter. Always fit the spin-on filter dry.

Oil Level Check

Check engine oil before starting the engine.

1.Remove dipstick gauge (A) provided on the left hand side of the crankcase.

2.Oil level should be between the two marks provided on the dipstick (A).

Oil Change

Change engine oil as per Routine Service Schedule Chart given in this manual.

1.Ensure that the engine is stopped before changing oil.

2.Remove the drain plug (C) provided at bottom of oil sump.

3.Allow the oil to drain at least for five minutes. All the oil can be drained out when engine is still warm.

4.Now reinstall the drain plug. Service the oil filter as explained below.

5.Remove the breather cum oil filler cap (B) to expose the oil filler neck.

6.Refill the oil sump slowly by recommended grade of oil (15W40) from the oil filler neck.

7.Clean and place the breather again.

Engine Oil Filter

The life of engine depends upon clean oil being circulated to its bearings. In the normal course of engine operation the lubricating oil undergoes changes which produce harmful by-products. The purpose of the oil filter is to separate and remove dirt and other injurious foreign materials from the oil and prevent these from being circulated in the engine.

The oil filter (D) should be replaced as per Routine Service Schedule Chart given in this manual or whenever engine oil is changed.

Changing Spin On Filter

1.Ensure that engine is stopped before changing filter.

2.Unscrew the oil filter (D).

3.Prime the new spin-on filter with clean oil.

4.Screw the new filter to the adapter.

5.Move the Hand and foot throttle to engine “Idle” position.

6.Start the engine, check the oil pressure gauge to see whether the lubricating oil is circulating through the Engine.

7.Inspect the oil filter (D) for oil leaks.

Note : Stop the engine immediately if Oil pressure is not recorded within 10 seconds of engine starting or Leakage is observed. Get the cause identified and rectified before proceeding further.

Note : Engine oil and filter element must be changed after initial 100 hrs. of operation in new tractor or whenever major overhaul of engine is carried out and subsequently after every 200 hrs. respectively.

To avoid delays, we recommend that you carry extra filter elements on hand so that replacements can be made at the correct time. The FILTER is located on the right-hand side of the crankcase.

Filling oil consumes time. Allow sufficient time for the oil to settle down in crankcase.
