Air purge of the fuel system
When fuel has been completely depleted or when
maintenance has been performed on the fuel sys-
tem, be sure to perform air purge in the follow-
ing sequence.
1. Open the engine hood.
2. Operate the priming pump up and down to
perform air bleeding.
Draining the sedimenter
(Diesel engine models)
The sedimenter separates the water contained
in the fuel. It is integrated with the fuel filter.
If the sedimenter warning lamp comes on, im-
mediately drain water according to the follow-
ing procedure because the accumulated water
in the sedimenter is above the specified level:
1. Place a water receiving container under the
open end of the drain hose under the fuel filter.
2. Turn around the drain cock a time or two to
loose it and operate the priming pump up and
down to drain the water in the sedimenter.
3. When light oil starts to flow out after the end
of water draining, firmly tighten the drain cock.
Caution
Wipe the light oil cleanly from the adjacent
area.
Maintaining the battery
Terminals
1. A loose or corroding terminal causes failure
in connection: Eliminate white powder, if no-
ticed on the terminal, by pouring warm water
over it to disable and then grease the terminal.
2. Remove the terminal, if it is extremely cor-
roded, from the battery to brush off the corro-
sion using a wire brush or sandpaper. Then con-
nect the terminal tightly to the battery and grease
the terminal.
Note: Remove the negative terminal (-) first, but
replace the same, second.

Caution
1. Stop the engine when attempt to work on
the battery and terminals.
2. Be careful not permitting any foreign mat-
ter to come into the battery by means of
putting the lids tightly in place.
3. Be careful not causing a short circuit on
the battery nor nearing fire, such as smoking
fire, because the battery-emitted gas is inflam-
mable.
4. Be cautious enough not to contact the bat-
tery electrolyte.
When it comes into contact with an eye or
skin, wash it off immediately with plenty of
water and then see a doctor.
5. Charge the battery with the lids off in a
well-ventilated area.
6. When battery electrolyte is spilt, be cer-
tain to wash it off with water thoroughly the
spot and adjoining area.
Adjustment of parking brake operat-
ing force
1. Attach a spring scale to the center of the grip
of the parking brake lever and pull backward to
measure the operating force.
Note: Please refer to Service Data for the de-
sired range of force value.
2. Should the force value be short of or in ex-
cess of the desired range, then turn the knob to
adjust accordingly.
Be sure to unlock brake to release power when
the adjustment is made.
Turn clockwise to increase force.
