NOTE!
The engine must cool down for approx. 30 minutes and the oil temperature must not exceed 80°C (176°F)
WARNING
Risk of burns - stop the diesel engine and allow it to cool down before starting any work.
NOTICE
Never adjust the valves with the engine running as the valves may strike the piston and cause serious damage.
NOTICE
Always cover open air connections with a plastic bag and rubber bands. Gravel, dust and other particles in these
connections may result in engine failure!
1. Place the machine in service position B. See Service positions
2. Open the engine hood.
3. Remove the screws and put aside the crankcase ventilation duct from the engine.

8. Crank the engine, clockwise, to a position where the valves on the cylinder number 1 (closest to the flywheel side)
overlap. Overlapping means that the exhaust valve is about to close and the inlet valve is about to open. In this
position it should not be possible to rotate any of the push rods by hand for the cylinder in question.

9. Mark the position on the belt pulley and oil pump's cover.
10. Adjust the valve clearance for each cylinder according to the black markings in the figure. Procedure for adjusting:
1. Loosen the adjusting screw's lock screw on the rocker arm.
2. Install the timing tool on the adjusting screw.
3. Turn the adjusting screw until zero clearance is obtained between rocker arm and valve. Set the timing
tool to zero.
4. Turn the adjusting screw according to see Valve mechanism, specifications.
5. Hold the adjusting screw in position and at the same time tighten the lock nut. Tightening torque: See
Engine, tightening torques
