Procedures

Adjust valve clearance adjustment

Tools: feeler gauge, wrench

Readjust after first 50 hours; check every 500 hours thereafter.
Check valves when engine is cold.
Rotate crankshaft clockwise to bring No. 1 piston to TDC compression.
Align pulley notch with pointer; confirm No. 1 valves rock.
Measure clearance with feeler gauge in firing order 1-3-4-2.
Loosen lock nut, adjust screw until feeler gauge has slight drag.
Tighten lock nut, recheck clearance, and replace rocker cover.

SP-5 V-Belt Tension Check adjustment

Check tension and wear on the V-belt after every 50 hours.
Press belt with thumb at midpoint between crankshaft and alternator pulleys.
Tension is correct if belt can be depressed about .39 to .47 in. (10 - 12 mm) with 22 lbs. (10 kg) force.

SP-6 Valve Clearance Adjustment adjustment

Tools: Feeler gauge

Readjust valve clearance after first 50 hours; check every 500 hours thereafter.
Check the valves when the engine is cold.
Rotate crankshaft clockwise to bring each piston to top dead center on compression stroke in firing order 1-3-4-2.
Loosen lock nut on adjustment screw and insert feeler gauge between rocker arm and valve stem cap.
Adjust until feeler gauge slides with slight drag; tighten lock nut and recheck clearance.
Adjust remaining valves and replace rocker arm cover.

V-Belt Tension adjustment

Check tension and wear after first 50 hours and every 50 hours.
Press belt at midpoint between crankshaft and alternator pulleys with thumb.
Correct tension is about 10-12 mm deflection with 10 kg (22 lbs.) force.
Adjust or replace belt if tension or wear is incorrect.

Valve Clearance Adjustment adjustment

Tools: Feeler gauge, Wrenches

Check valves when engine is cold.
Rotate crankshaft clockwise to bring each piston to top dead center on compression stroke.
Align pulley notch with pointer and confirm No. 1 valves rock.
Measure each valve clearance with feeler gauge in firing order 1-3-4-2.
Loosen lock nut on adjustment screw.
Insert feeler gauge between rocker arm and valve stem cap.
Adjust until gauge slides with slight drag; tighten lock nut and recheck.
Replace rocker arm cover.

Bleed fuel system diagnostic

⚠ Escaping diesel fuel under pressure can penetrate skin causing serious personal injury.

Tools: cloth

Loosen air vent plug on fuel filter about 1-1/2 turns.
Operate priming pump plunger until no air bubbles appear.
Close air vent plug.
For injection pump, loosen its air vent plug about 1-1/2 turns.
Pump feed pump until no bubbles; lock priming pump cap.
If engine will not start, loosen injector line and crank until fuel escapes.

Shutdowns and Alarms diagnostic

⚠ Do not remove water fill cap of overheated engine; allow to cool and remove slowly.

Units have shutdown systems for high water temperature or low oil pressure.
Generator sets have shutdown systems, no warning horns.
Optional alarms and shutdowns are available.
When activated, engage preheat switch to check temperature gauge.
If above 205°F (96°C), use Troubleshooting Guide to isolate overheat cause.
Make repairs and restart after temperature gauge registers below 200°F (94°C).
If shutdown activated but temperature normal, check exhaust temperature/impeller/strainer.
Check crankcase oil level; if low, fill with recommended oil and restart.
If oil level normal, do not restart; call dealer.

Air Cleaner maintenance

⚠ Do not clean filter with diesel fuel, solvent, or gasoline. Serious engine damage can result.

Visually inspect air cleaner every 250 hours.
Take off hose clamp on bracket and hump hose to detach air cleaner.
Ensure hump hose and new filter element are clean.
Install new filter element properly.
Do not clean filter with diesel fuel, solvent, or gasoline.
Do not run engine with air cleaner removed.

Bleeding Fuel System maintenance

⚠ Escaping diesel fuel under pressure can penetrate skin causing serious injury.

Loosen air vent plug on fuel filter about 1-1/2 turns; cover vent with cloth.
Turn priming pump cap counterclockwise to unlatch it.
Move priming pump plunger up and down.
Close air vent plug when no air bubbles are seen.
To bleed injection pump, loosen its air vent plug about 1-1/2 turns.
Pump feed pump cap up and down until no air bubbles appear.
Push down priming pump cap and turn clockwise to lock.
If engine does not start, loosen fuel line at injector and crank until pure fuel escapes.

Bleeding the Fuel System maintenance

⚠ Escaping diesel fuel under pressure can penetrate skin causing serious personal injury. Relieve pressure before disconnecting lines and use cardboard or wood to check for leaks.

Tools: Cloth

Loosen air vent plug on fuel filter about 1-1/2 turns, covering vent with cloth.
Unlatch priming pump cap and move priming pump plunger up and down.
Close air vent plug when no more air bubbles are seen.
To bleed injection pump, loosen its air vent plug about 1-1/2 turns and pump feed pump.
Lock priming pump cap in place before closing air vent plug.
If engine does not start, loosen a fuel line at an injector and crank until pure fuel escapes; tighten.

Break-In Period maintenance

First 100 hours on new or reconditioned engine are critical.
Operate engine under various conditions, including heavy loading and minimal or no load.
Constantly check engine temperature and oil pressure gauges.
Change engine oil and filter at 50 hours and again at 100 hours.
Maintain at least 75% load for first 100 hours; if not possible, maintain no less than 50% load and vary load.

Change engine oil and filter maintenance

Tools: filter wrench

Change engine oil and oil filter after first 50 hours.
Use diesel-rated break-in oil during first 100 hours.
Change oil and filter again at 100 hours.
Thereafter change oil and filter every 250 hours.
Warm engine, drain oil, replace plug, refill with recommended oil.
