GENERAL always be protected with a protective cream. Servicing

Cleanliness must always be observed when servicing
any components of the fuel system. Suitable caps or
masking tape should be available for blanking off
open fuel connections as soon as a union has been
removed. Do not use cotton waste or rag producing
lint to clean out any part of the fuel system. When
working with Diesel equipment, the hands should

to the recommendations given in the following pages.
This section of the Workshop Manual gives only
partial details of the fuel systems components. For
more comprehensive details of the fuel system
components, particularly relating to servicing, see

by a needle bearing in a centre hOUSing web.
The driven ground speed p.t.o. gear of (i) whIch slides
on the splines of the p.t.o. shaft. IS supported by a
bush bearing but the drive. compound reduction and
driven gears of (ii) and (iii) are all supported on
needle bearings.
The rear end of each p.t.o. shaft is supported by a ball
bearing together with two seals: one of metal to
exclude external dirt and a lip type seal to retain the
transmission oil within the.. ~~ptre housing.
In the instance of (Iii) a guide tube assembly is fitted
within the centre housing. which prevents trans-
mission oil runnIng out when the 540 rev/min or 1000

NOTE: The following can be used as an alterna-

tive. But it must be emphasised that it is an
approximate setting and the first method should
be carried out as soon as the opportunity arises.
1. Start the engine, and set the engine speed at
1200 rev/min.
2. Place the Draft Control lever in the fully UP
position. .
3. Place the Position Control lever in tne CON-
STANT PUMPING position.
4. Screw the setscrew in until the needle of the
gauge begins to fluctuate.
5. Screw the setscrew out until the fluctuating
ceases, then unscrew a further eight flats.
6. Stop the engine.

Position Control Setting

1. Start the engine, and s.et the engine speed at
1200 rev/min.
2. Place the Draft Control lever in the fully UP
position.
3. Place the Position Control lever in the CON-
STANT PUMPING Position.
4. When the links are fully raised scribe a line
across the top cover casting and lift arm.
5. Place the Position Control lever in the TRANS-
PORT position.
6. The links should drop until the scribe lines are
1,6 to 4,7 mm (0·06 to 0·19 in) apart, if the dis-
tance is incorrect carry out procedures 7 to 10.
7. Slacken ·the two bolts and the two barrel nuts.
8. Rotate the Position Control quadrant and lever
until the setting is correct.
9. Tighten the two barrel nuts and recheck the
setting.
10. Stop the engine.
