5.2.2 Inspection Every 50 Hours
(1) Draining of the Fuel Tank
① Open the drain cock of the fuel tank to
drain (water, dust, etc.) from the tank bot-
tom.
② Receive the drain in a container.
Drain until fuel with no water and dust
flows out. Then close the drain cock.
(2) Drain the fuel filter
When water and dirt mixed with the fuel, it becomes impossible for the fuel injection pump and the
valve to work. Drain periodically to keep the filter from becoming clogged. When there is a lot of
drain collected in the oil/water separator at the bottom of the fuel filter, the fuel filter alarm lamp will
light up. When there is a heavydeposit, drain the fuel tank at the same time.
①Loosen the drainplug at the bottom of the
fuel filter and drain off any water and dirt
collected inside.
②Retighten the drainplug.
③Be sure to bleed air from the fuel system.
