Engine Mounting
CAUTION
DO NOT re-torque or reuse existing
flange
head bolts. These bolts are fac-
tory set to the specified torque. If bolts
are loose or damaged, they must be
replaced with the new bolts. Failure to
comply may result in property damage.
Periodic Inspection: Inspect engine mounts
every 60,000 miles (96,000 km).
Check for the following:
•
Inspect both mount and leg
fasteners. Check for loose or
broken bolts. Replace as
necessary.
• Check mount and leg for fractures,
breaks or deformation. Replace as
necessary.
• Check for complete insertion of
motor mount. Replace as
necessary.
• New leg to mount flange head bolts
should be torqued to 210-230 lb-ft
(284-311 N·m).
Fuel System
Please follow these recommendations
when you are changing your fuel filters or
strainer elements. Y
our vehicle's engine
will run better and last longer if you do. See
the engine manufacturer's
recommendations for proper water and
micron requirements.
Draining the Primary Fuel Filter
The following tools are suggested for this
procedure:
• Container (1 liter capacity)
(optional)
• 3/8" diameter rubber hose
(optional)
Perform with engine OFF. Cover any
electrical equipment and wiring that might
get soaked with fuel – diesel fuel may
permanently damage electrical insulation.
If draining to replace filter, drain into
container with a minimum 1 liter (1 qt)
capacity, and use hose to route fluid.
1. Open the hood (see How to Open
the Hood), and locate the primary
fuel filter.
2. Open drain valve (by hand only)
until draining occurs.
If draining to replace the filter
,
before opening valve, push one
end of hose onto drain valve and
route other end to the container.
3. Drain fluid from filter assembly:
• If draining water from fuel, drain
filter bowl of water until clear
fuel is visible, then close drain
valve, or
• If replacing filter, drain until flow
stops, then close valve.
CAUTION
Do not overtighten the
valve. Over tightening can
damage the threads.
If a hose was used to drain fluid,
remove hose.
If entire filter assembly was drained,
proceed to Replacing the Primary Fuel
Filter.
