EVERY 1 YEAR

EVERY 1 YEAR

1. Checking fuel line

The fuel line is made of rubber and ages regardless of
service period.
Fuel lines should be checked every 1 year.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key
when attempting to make the following checks
and changes.
• Never fail to check the fuel lines periodically.
The fuel lines are subject to wear and aging.
Fuel may leak out onto the running engine,
causing a fire.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, raise the cargo
bed, mount the safety support and shut off the
engine.
2. If the fuel line and clamps are found to be damaged
or deteriorated, replace them.
IMPORTANT :
• When the fuel line is disconnected for
maintenance or repair, close both ends of
the fuel line with a piece of clean cloth or
paper to prevent dust and dirt from entering.
In addition, particular care must be taken not
to admit dust and dirt into the fuel pump.
Entrance of even a small amount of dust or
dirt cause premature wear and malfunction
of the fuel pump and injector components.
