OPERATION 40

Clean the Fuel Tank Vent

Clean the fuel tank vent to be sure the fuel system does not create a vacuum or pressurize causing a malfunction of the fuel pump.

To access the vent, open the SMV sign latch and allow the sign and windshield washer bottle to pivot outward. The vent, 1, is attached to the rear wall of the cab by a bracket.

The vent does not need to be removed to clean it. Use low pressure compressed air 3.5 bar (50 PSI or less) to remove any debris collected around the vent.

OPERATION 41

Clean the Hydraulic Suction Screen

The hydraulic suction screen can be removed from the top of the hydraulic tank without draining the hydraulic fluid.

To remove the suction screen, first clean the top of the tank where the hydraulic pump suction hose attaches to the suction screen port. Loosen the hose clamps, 1, that attach the suction hose to the steering pump.
