4.2 PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with a mechanical fuel lift
pump, it is mounted on the engine next to the injection
pump. This pumphas a manual plunger for bleeding fuel
when the fuel tank has been run dry.
Sincetheunitemploysaclosedfuelcircuit,thefollow-
ing steps are recommended:
1. Turnbleedvalve(Red)counter---clockwiseuntilful-
ly opened.
2. Turn the top of the manual plunger counter-clock-
wisetounlockit.Thenrapidlyhandpumpthehandplung-
er untilpositive pressure(resistance)is felt, whichwill in-
dicate fuel flow.
3. Depress and turn the top of the manual plunger
clockwise to lock it in place.
4. Start engine.
5. When engine is running properly, turn bleed valve
clockwise until fully closed.
4.3 ENGINE SERVICE AND COMPONENTS
4.3.1Cooling System
Air flows through the radiator by using the electric
fans. The radiator, externallyandinternallymust beclean
for adequate cooling. The water pump V-belt must be ad-
justedperiodicallytoprovidemaximumefficiency.(Refer
to section 4.4.1)

CAUTION
Useonlyethyleneglycolcoolant(withinhibitors)
in system as glycol by itself will damage the
system. Always add pre-mixed 50/50 coolant and
water to radiator/engine. Never exceed more
than 50% concentration of coolant. Use a low
silicate coolant meeting GM specification GM
6038M or equal.
1. Removeall foreignmatterfromtheradiator coil by
reversing the normal air flow. Compressed air or water

warm water mixed with any good commercial detergent.
Rinse with fresh water if a detergent is used.
2. Draincoolant completely byremovinglowerradia-
tor hose and radiator cap.
3. Installhoseandfillsystemwithclean,untreatedwa-
tertowhich threetofivepercentofanalkalinebaseradia-
tor cleaner should be added (6 oz. dry to one gallon)
4. Run engine 6 to 12 hours and drain system while
warm. Rinse system three times after it has cooled down.
Refill system with water.
5. Runenginetooperatingtemperature.Drainsystem
again and fill with treated water/coolant. (see Caution
Note and refer to section 1.2) NEVER POUR COLD
WATER INTOAHOTENGINE,howeverhotwater can
always be added to a cold engine.
4.3.2Lube Oil Filter
After warming up the engine, stop engine, remove
drain plug from the reservoir and drain engine lube oil.
Lightly oil gasket on filter before installing.
CAUTION
When changing oil filter, the new filter should be
primed with clean oil, if the filter is not primed,
the engine may operate for a period with no oil
supplied to the bearings.
Replace filter and add lube oil. (Refer to section 1.4)
Warm up engine and check for leaks.

Figure 4-1. Speed Control Solenoid
1. Disconnect wiring to solenoid. Disconnect linkage
arm (item 4) from solenoid. Remove mounting hardware
from solenoid and then remove solenoid.
2. Install replacement solenoid and mounting hard-
ware. Do not tighten at this time.
3. Attachlinkage to solenoidandinstall theclip tothe
solenoid arm.
4. Holdthespeedleveragainstthehighspeedstopand
check the rpm (refer to section1-2) Adjust the low speed
stop screw stop if necessary.
5. Checkenginespeed.Withtheenginestopped,place
a mark on the crankshaft sheave (white paint for exam-
ple). Speed may be verified by a Strobette model 964
(strobe tachometer) Carrier Transicold P/N 07-00206.
