2.4 CRANKING THE ENGINE

Cranking using the tension pulley
Put an M8 x 90 bolt (A) into the tension pulley via 

the opening at the rear of the alternator bracket. 

Turn the bolt until the tension pulley blocks.

Place a socket spanner on the nut (C) on the 

alternator and turn the engine clockwise.

Note:

Turning the nut anti-clockwise may cause the 

alternator nut to work loose.

If the tension pulley slips while cranking, it can be 

pre-tensioned a little by turning it anti-clockwise 

(B) whilst securing the bolt (A).

}

Remove the blocking bolt (A) before 

the engine is started and check that 

the tensioner is no longer blocked.

Cranking on the flywheel housing
Fit the special tool (DAF No. 1310477) on the 

opening at the bottom of the flywheel housing 

such that the pinion engages the starter ring gear. 

Turn the crankshaft clockwise as seen from the 

timing gear end (this corresponds to the direction 

of rotation of the engine).

3. INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

3.1 INSPECTING FUEL LEVEL ELEMENT

}

To prevent deformation of the fuel 

tank, the delivery pressure in the fuel 

tank must not exceed 0.4 bar.

1.

Fit a pressure reducer valve connection on a 

tank cap (without bleeder) and connect the 

tank cap to the fuel tank.

2.

Pressurise the fuel tank (maximum 0.1 bar).

3.

Slowly increase the pressure until the 

system audibly blows off via the pressure 

relief valve and check the opening pressure 

of the fuel level element. See "Technical 

data".

4.

De-pressurise the fuel tank and remove the 

tank cap with the air connection.

Note:

To prevent dirt from entering, first clean the 

exterior of the fuel tank.
