Fuel System Using Proper Fuel Use proper diesel fuel to help prevent decreased engine performance and increased exhaust emissions. Failure to follow the fuel requirements listed below can void your engine warranty. Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975 Grade No.1-D S15 are recommended. Clean Diesel Fuel Diesel Fuel should be poured so that no sediment can enter the tractor fuel tank whilst it is being filled. Fuel storage facilities should allow for the periodic removal of sediment from the bottom of the storage tank. The Diesel fuel filters will remove any sediment still present in the fuel and ensure that the fuel reaching the injection pump and injectors is free of impurities. The fuel filter should be serviced regularly to ensure maximum engine reliability. Bleeding the Fuel Filter The presence of air in the fuel can cause fuel stoppages. The air should be completely bled so that the tractor operates satisfactorily. Loosen air bleeding screw (B) on fuel filter and push hand primer (A) down till you get the flow of fuel free of air from air bleeding screw. Retighten the screw (B).
Escaping diesel fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Do not use your hand to check for leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks. Stop engine and relieve pressure before connecting or disconnecting lines. Tighten all connections before pressurizing lines. If any fluid is injected into the skin obtain medical attention immediately or else, serious injury may result. NOTE: Do not use diesel fuel with sulphur content more than 15 ppm.

Bleeding the Fuel Pump Disconnect the fuel pump backflow hose to the fuel tank. Then push the hand primer (A) until the fuel comes out from the fuel pump backflow and the resistance encountered by activating the hand primer is big enough. Then connect the fuel pump backflow hose. Fuel Tank and Fuel Pipes Fill the tank each time the tractor finishes the days work. This prevents condensation inside the fuel tank. Check regularly to ensure all fuel pipe unions are tight and in good order. Ensure that vent hole provided on fuel tank cap is not choked. Ensure that strainer fitted in the tank is intact and free from any damages. Water or dirt settled in the bottom of fuel tank should be drained daily, before starting the engine by loosening the drain cock till clean diesel flows.
