For the Mitsubishi S6R S6R2 / S6R- S6R2, from the Mitsubishi operator's manual.

Before you start

  1. Attach the fuel injection nozzle to the nozzle tester.
  2. While watching the pressure gauge, push the handle down slowly.
  3. The pressure indicated when the gauge needle suddenly decreases is the injection start pressure.
  4. If out of standard, turn the adjusting screw to the standard value.
  5. Tighten the screw to increase pressure and loosen it to decrease pressure.
  6. Secure the cap nut and the set screw to their specified torques.
