SERVICE INFORMATION 00 – 31

Remove the radiator filler cap only when absolutely neces-
sary.
Always check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
Always refer to the chart at the left to determine the correct
cooling water to antifreeze solution mixing ratio.

Cooling System Inspection

Install a radiator filler cap tester to the radiator.  Apply
testing pressure to the cooling system to check for leakage.
The testing pressure must not exceed the specified pres-
sure.

Radiator Cap Inspection

The radiator filler cap is designed to maintain coolant pres-
sure in the cooling system at 1.05 kg/cm

2

 (15 psi/103 kPa).

Check the radiator filler cap with a radiator filler cap tester.
The radiator filler cap must be replaced if it fails to hold the
specified pressure during the test procedure.

1.

Completely submerge the thermostat in water.

2.

Heat the water.
Stir the water constantly to avoid direct heat being
applied to the thermostat.

ENGINE CONTROL

Idling Speed Adjustment

1.

Set the vehicle parking brake and choke the drive wheels.

2.

Place the transmission in neutral.

3.

Start the engine and allow it to warm up.

4.

Disconnect the engine control cable from the control
lever.

5.

Set a tachometer to the engine.

6.

Check the engine idling speed.
If the engine idling speed is outside the specified range,
it must be adjusted.

Fast Idling Speed Adjustment

1.

Loosen the fast idle actuator lock nut 1 

.

2.

Adjust the fast idling speed by turning the adjusting
screw 2 

.

3.

Tighten the lock nut 1 

.

4.

Connect the vacuum hose to the fast idle actuator.

5.

Connect the other vacuum hose to the vacuum switch-
ing valve.

Engine Idling Speed

Idling Speed Adjustment

1.

Loosen the idling set screw lock nut 1 on the injection
pump idling set bolt.

2.

Adjust the idling speed to the specified range by turning
the idling set bolt 2.

3.

Lock the idling set bolt with the idling set screw lock nut.

4.

Check that the idling control cable is tight (free of slack).
If required, remove the slack from the cable.

Fast Idling Speed Inspection

1.

Set tachometer to the engine.

2.

Disconnect the vacuum hose from the fast idle actuator
1 on the injection pump.

3.

Disconnect the other vacuum hose 2 from the vacuum
switching valve 3 and connect it to the fast idle actuator

.

The vacuum line will now be connected directly from
the vacuum pump 4 to the fast idle actuator.

4.

Check the engine fast idling speed.
If the engine idling speed is outside the specified range,
it must be adjusted.

Accelerator Control

Accelerator Control Cable Adjustment

1.

Loosen the accelerator cable clamp bolt 1 

.

2.

Check that the idling control knob on the instrument
panel is in the engine idling position.

3.

Hold the accelerator lever 2  in the fully closed position
and stretch the control cable 3 

 in the direction indi-

cated by the arrow to remove any slack.

Accelerator Pedal Adjustment

1.

Depress the accelerator pedal and hold it.

2.

Use the stopper bolt 1  to adjust the clearance between
the stopper bolt end and the accelerator pedal lower
face 2 

.

VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT

1.

Bring the piston in either the No. 1 cylinder or the No. 4
cylinder to TDC on the compression stroke by turning
the crankshaft until the crankshaft damper pulley TDC
line is aligned with the timing pointer.

2.

Check the rocker arm shaft bracket nuts for looseness.
Tighten any loose rocker arm shaft bracket nuts before
adjusting the valve clearance.

3.

Check for play in the No. 1 intake and exhaust valve push
rods.
If the No. 1 cylinder intake and exhaust valve push rods
have play, the No. 1 piston is at TDC on the compression
stroke.
If the No.1 cylinder intake and exhaust valve push rods
are depressed, the No. 4 piston is at TDC on the com-
pression stroke.
