ENGLISH
FUEL INJECTION NOZZLE
Look at the orifice discharge pattern (shape of
discharge) when fluid begins to flow through the
injection nozzle. The discharge must be straight.
Any change is an indication of a bad nozzle.
Operate the tester handle at a speed of one stroke
per second to make sure the discharge is straight.
Loosen the retaining nut and remove the tip from
the injection nozzle. Wash the needle valve and
body in clean diesel fuel. After washing, put the
needle valve in the body in clean diesel fuel.
CAUTION
After cleaning the tip, install it in the nozzle and
tighten the retaining nut to the specified torque.
If the injection nozzle is still bad after the tip has
been washed, replace the tip.
Do not touch the sliding surface of the needle
valve.
When installing the new nozzle tip, remove
synthetic resin film from the tip and slide the
needle valve in the body in clean diesel fuel to
wash off inhibitor completely.
