3.8Coolingsystem
Specificsafetyinstructions
The radiator is located in the engine compartment in front of the engine. The expansion tank for the coolant is also located in the engine compartment, to the right of the radiator.
• Dirt on the radiator fins reduces the radiator’s heat dissipation capacity. To avoid this:
☞ Clean the outside of the radiator at regular intervals. Use oil-free compressed air (29 psi [2 bar] max.) to clean. Maintain a certain distance to the radiator to avoid damage to the radiator fins. – see Maintenance schedule on page3-5.
☞ In dusty or dirty work conditions, clean more frequently than indicated in the maintenance plan.
• Insufficient coolant level reduces the heat dissipation capacity as well and can lead to engine damage. Because of this:
☞ Check the coolant level at regular intervals. – see Maintenance schedule on page35.
☞ If coolant must be added frequently, check the cooling system for leaks and/or contact your dealer.
☞ Never add cold water/coolant if the engine is warm.
☞ After filling the expansion tank:
• Test run the engine.

Any humidity penetrating these sensors causes them to fail and leads to engine damage.
Screwconnectionsandattachments
All screw connections must be checked regularly for tightness, even if they are not listed in the maintenance schedule.
Tighten loose connections immediately. Contact your dealer if necessary.
Pivotsandhinges
All mechanical pivot points on the machine (e.g., door hinges, joints) and fittings (e.g., door latches) must be lubricated regularly, even if they are not listed in the lubrication schedule.

4.5Checkingtheinjectionnozzles
Pressurecheck
☞ Twist the shut-off valve on the fuel filter to the OFF position.
☞ Clean the area around the injection nozzles.
☞ Remove the injection line and the injection nozzle.
☞ Connect the injection nozzle to the high pressure line of the nozzle tester.
☞ Slowly increase pressure until the nozzle ejects fuel and read the pressure on the pressure gauge.
☞ If the injection pressure is too low, replace the spacer in the nozzle with a thicker one. If the pressure is too high, replace the spacer with a thinner one.
➥ Injection pressure: 1711–1856psi(118–128bar)
• Spacer thickness of 0.004 in. (0.1 mm) corresponds to modification by 100 – 142 psi (6.9 – 9.8 bar).
• Check the pressure again.
• Check the injection nozzle for drips after it has ejected fuel.
☞ Create a pressure of about 290 psi (20 bar) below injection pressure and check whether fuel escapes from the nozzle.

• Install the nozzle.
• Open the shut-off valve on the fuel filter again.
4.6Checkingthenozzlejet
☞ Remove the injection lines and the injection nozzles.
☞ Connect the injection nozzle with the high pressure line of the nozzle tester.
☞ Quickly create pressure until the nozzle ejects fuel (three or four times).
☞ Hold a white sheet of paper about 12 in. (30 cm) away from the nozzle and let the nozzle eject fuel.
☞ The nozzle jet must create a shape on the paper as shown in fig. 4-6.


4.7Injectiontime
Checkingandadjustinginjectiontime
• Preparation:
☞ Bleed the fuel system if necessary – see Bleeding the fuel system on page 3-10
☞ Clean the engine.
☞ Mark the position of the fuel injection pump on the engine block.


• Trace the mark with a touch-up applicator.
☞ Move the throttle to work position, and apply current to the cutoff solenoid.
☞ Unscrew only the injection line of the 1st cylinder and bend it a little to the side so that you can see the opening to the fuel injection pump.

NOTE:
To be able to see better, use a section of an injection line (cut at an angle, as shown on the left in fig. 4-7) or a transparent tube (as shown on the right in fig. 4-7) instead of the injection line.
• Measurement:
☞ Remove the cap – see 3TNV76-NNS engine overview on page 4-1.
☞ Rotate the pump in the required direction and stop when fuel starts coming out.
☞ As you do so, carefully watch the opening where the injection line was.
☞ Wipe away the fuel and turn back to about 30° before top dead center of the 1st cylinder.
☞ Repeat the measurement.
☞ Read the mark on the crankshaft (18°). Injection time is set correctly if it corresponds to this value.
☞ If it does not correspond to this value, loosen the fuel injection pump (do not unscrew it completely) and rotate it a little.
➥ Rotated toward the engine: later injection time.
➥ Rotated away from the engine: earlier injection time.
☞ Tighten the fuel injection pump firmly and check injection time again.
☞ Repeat the procedure as required.
IMPORTANT!
Bend the injection lines as you mount them so they are not subject to tension after they are mounted. Bleed the injection lines after they are installed.
Fuelinjectionpumpreplacement
☞ Clean the engine.
☞ Twist the fuel shut-off valves on the fuel filter and the water separator to the OFF position.
☞ Unscrew the injection lines.
☞ Mark the initial position on the pump and wheel case housing before removing the fuel injection pump.

☞ Remove gear casing cover 4-10/1 of the fuel injection pump.
☞ Turn the engine until the marks on the gears coincide, see Fig. 4-11



☞ Completely loosen locknut 4-11/2 of the drive pinion.
☞ Loosen bolts S
☞ Remove the fuel injection pump.
☞ Turn the gears until the marks coincide.
☞ Install the new fuel injection pump.
☞ Check the marked position of the drive pinion on the fuel injection pump (fig. 4-11).
