TM3215,3245,3265
■ WHEN ANOTHER PERSON OPERATES YOUR

MACHINE
When another person operates your machine, you

must explain how to operate and instruct him or
her to read this manual fully to avoid unexpected
accidents.
■ BEFORE OPERATION
(1) Set up an operation plan with sufficient time

allowance. A tight plan may result in unexpected
accidents in hurry when work has to be rushed.
(2) Inspect and service the machine periodically in

accordance with the instructions given in the
operation manual to maintain the machine in best
condition.
Pay special attention to the controls, especially to
the brakes and clutch, and safety measures for the
machine when servicing it. If the machine functions
properly and performs normally, the chance of an
accident will be reduced greatly.
If safety devices are damaged or do not work,
please consult your ISEKI dealer.
(3) Before removing a safety device, such as a safety

cover, be sure that the machine has stopped
completely. Never forget to replace the removed
part after servicing.
(4) Never inject fuel while the engine is running or

is still hot. Keep away from open fires and never
smoke around a fuel tank or while fuelling the
machine. Never use open flames for illumination
when fuelling the machine at night.

SAFETY
■ STARTING ENGINE AND MOVING TRACTOR
(1) Before starting the engine indoors, make sure that

there is proper ventilation because exhaust fumes
contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which cause
lethal poisoning.
(2) Before starting the machine, confirm that the

transmission gear has been shifted to the
appropriate speed, that there is no one near the
machine, and that the implement is securely
installed on the machine.Always operate the
machine from the operator's seat. Never leave the
seat except in an emergency when operating the
machine.
(3) Before starting to move, pay attention to safety

conditions around the machine to avoid injury to
bystanders or damage to property. Never move
abruptly.
■ WHEN TRAVELLING
(1) When you travel on roads, latch the brake pedals

together by using the interlocking plate, or the
tractor may turn over by one wheel locking.
(Mechanical transmission)
(2) When you travel on roads, ensure the differential

lock is off, or the tractor may turn over.
(3) Do not make sharp turns when operating at high

speed or for transportation, as the tractor may turn
over.
(4) When operating on poor footing such as a rough

road, a slope, a road along a ditch or river, or
undeveloped land, drive the tractor at low speeds
and operate it carefully.
(5) Do not make sharp turns on a slope. It may cause

turnover of the tractor.
When climbing up a hill, shift the speed change
lever to the most suitable speed. Start moving the
tractor as slowly as possible.
While climbing up a hill, never shift speeds along
the way.

TM3215,3245,3265
When starting to move the tractor on an up-hill

slope, be sure that the front wheels do not lift up.
When going down a hill, drive the tractor at a slower
speed than used to climb up the hill.
While going down a hill, never disengage the clutch
or shift into neutral, and never try to control the
speed only with the brakes; use the engine brake
effectively.
(6) When travelling on a road where one or both

shoulders are slanted and which run along a ditch,
look out for softened shoulders especially when
the ditch is full of water and be careful not to let the
machine slip sideways.
(7) Never allow other persons to get on the machine

or the implement except when the machine or the
implement is provided with a seat or a platform
for persons to sit or stand on, and only within the
capacity specified.
Never allow persons to get on the implement while
travelling on roads.
(8) When parking the tractor, you have to park it on

hard, level ground and provide sufficient safety
measures by grounding the implement, removing
the key, applying the parking brakes, and chocking
the wheels securely.
(9) Keep inflammables away from the engine during

operation. Especially during stationary operation do
not operate the engine at high speed so as not to
set fire to grass or straw with a heated exhaust pipe
or exhaust fumes.
(10) When you have to operate the tractor at night, make

sure of location of controls. If not, the tractor might
work unexpectedly by mistake. When travelling on
roads, never turn on the work lamps (option).
10

SAFETY
■ LOADING ONTO OR UNLOADING FROM A TRUCK
(1) When loading the tractor onto a truck or a trailer,

turn off the truck's engine and apply the parking
brakes to the truck or the trailer. Otherwise, the
truck could move and the tractor fall to the ground.
(2) Pay sufficient attention to the safety conditions

around the tractor and have it guided by someone
to assist the operation. Never allow other persons to
approach the tractor, especially in front of or behind
it.
(3) When loading or unloading the machine on / off a

track, set slipproof ramps at the same angles and
drive the tractor straight at sufficiently slow speeds.
Loading the tractor in reverse travel and unloading
it in forward travel.
(4) Be sure to interlock the right and left brake pedals

ahead of time. Never depress the brake pedals or
clutch pedal during loading or unloading operation,
or the tractor may shift sideways, which may cause
it to fall off the ramps.
(5) If the engine stalls unexpectedly on the ramps,

depress the brake pedals immediately and roll the
tractor to the ground by manipulating the brake
pedals. Start the engine on the ground and try
again.
(6) When the machine is loaded on the truck, stop the

engine, apply parking brakes, and withdraw the
starter key, chock the wheels, and rope it securely
to the truck. During transportation, do not make
sharp turns needlessly so as not to shift the loaded
tractor.
(7) Use ramps with the same or better specifications

mentioned below. When the machine is equipped
with attachments other than those included in the
specifications mentioned below, ask your ISEKI
dealer for advice.
11

TM3215,3245,3265
Specifications of the ramps

・Length more than 4 times the height of the platform of the truck
・Width (effective width) ..................................... more than 35 cm
・Capacity (one ramp) ..................................... more than 1000 kg
・Ramps should have anti-skid surfaces
(8) Hook the ramps securely on the platform of the

truck with the top of the ramp level with the platform.
(9) Always prepare for even the worst, never allowing

other persons near the tractor.
(10) Drive the tractor carefully at the moment the tractor

moves from the ramps onto the platform, for it
changes angle abruptly.
■ DURING OPERATION
(1) During operation, never allow other persons in the

vicinity of the tractor, because the tractor itself or
flung pieces may cause injury.
(2) Pay attention to safety around the tractor to

avoid injury to bystanders or damage to property.
Especially when operating with other persons, use
the horn to warn them.
(3) When crossing a ditch or a levee or when passing

through soft land, drive the tractor slowly and
straightforward so that it does not slip or turn over.
(4) Do not touch dangerous parts such as rotating

parts, moving parts, hot parts (muffler, radiator, or
engine, etc. ) , or electric parts (battery terminals
and other live parts ), or you may be injured
seriously.
(5) If you use a trailer, use a proper one which starts

your tractor. Using an improper trailer may cause
serious accidents. Never attempt to haul beyond
the tractor's capacity. If you have a question, please
consult your ISEKI dealer.
12

SAFETY
(6) When moving the machine toward an implement

for the purpose of installing the implement, never
allow any one to stand in between. When installing
the implement on the machine, be prepare to
move away promptly in the event of an emergency.
The brakes should be applied securely during
installation.
■ INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
(1) W h e n s e r v i c i n g t h e t r a c t o r o r m o u n t i n g o r
dismounting an implement, place the tractor on
level, hard ground which is sufficiently illuminated,
or unexpected accidents may occur.
(2) When servicing the tractor, follow the instructions

listed below:
・Apply parking brakes.
・Disengage all PTO.
・Place all gear shift levers in neutral.
・Remove the starter key.
・Lower the implement fully, if equipped. If not, your
hands or clothes may be caught or sandwiched
between.
(3) When servicing the tractor, use proper tools. Using

makeshift tools may lead to injuries or poor service,
which may result in unexpected accidents during
operation.
(4) The engine, muffler, radiator, etc. are very hot

just after operation, so wait until they cool down
sufficiently to avoid burns.
(5) Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is

hot or running. Wait until the engine cools down and
then relieve the radiator pressure by releasing the
radiator cap. Carelessly pouring cooling water into
the heated radiator can cause serious damage to
the radiator and the engine.
Careless removal of the radiator cap can cause
serious injury because of overheated water vapour.
(6) Never fit unauthorized implements or attempt

unauthorized modification.
13

TM3215,3245,3265
(7) Be sure to reinstall the removed safety covers in

place as exposed dangerous parts may cause
serious injury.
(8) Avoid high-pressure fluids. Escaping fluid under

pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury, so keep hands and body away from pin holes
and nozzles ejecting such fluids. Be sure to consult
your dealer about the hydraulic and fuel injection
system trouble.
When checking for leaks, use a piece of cardboard
or wood without fail.
If any hydraulic fluid is injected accidentally into the
skin, it must be removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this type of injury.
(9) When servicing wheels and tyres, the tractor and /

or implement must be supported on suitable blocks
or stands. Not a hydraulic jack.
Do not attempt to service a tyre unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform the
job. Have the work carried out by your ISEKI dealer
or a qualified repair service.
When seating tyre beads onto rims never exceed
the maximum inflation specifications specified on
the tyre. Inflation beyond this maximum pressure
may brake the bead, or even the rim, with
dangerous, explosive force.
If tyres have deep scratches, cuts or punctures, the
respective tyre should be repaired or replaced by
qualified personnel as soon as possible.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, eye / face
protection.
■ STORAGE
(1) Never cover a hot machine just after operation with

a tarpaulin or the like, or the heated engine and
related parts may cause a fire.
(2) Before storing the tractor for a long period of time,

disconnect the battery cables to prevent them, in
case they are gnawed by rats, from causing a short
circuit, which may lead to a fire.
When disconnecting the cables, disconnect the
negative (-) cable first.
14

SAFETY
(3) Safe storage of dangerous objects

・When storing dangerous implements, take appropriate
safety measures to prevent accidents by covering with
tarpaulin.
・Store fuel in a safe place with caution signs such as
"PREVENT FIRE" or "INFLAMMABLE."
・All inflammables must also be stored in a safe, fire-
resistant location.
MAINTENANCE OF THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM
■ TO MAINTAIN ELECTRIC WIRING
(1) When servicing the electric wiring, stop the engine

without fail. Otherwise your hands or clothes may
be caught in or sandwiched between rotating parts.
(2) Before manipulating electric parts, be sure to

disconnect the earth battery cable (-), or you may
get an electric shock or be injured by sparks.
(3) Loose electric terminals or connectors may not only

lower electrical performance but also cause short
circuit or leakage of electricity, which may lead to a
fire. Promptly repair or replace dam-aged wiring.
(4) Remove chaff or dust from the battery, wiring,

muffler, or engine. Otherwise it could result a fire.
■ TO HANDLE THE BATTERY
(1) When working around the battery, avoid smok-

ing. The battery generates explosive hydrogen and
oxygen gases when it is being charged. Keep the
battery away from sparks or open flames.
(2) The battery should be inspected before starting the

engine. Be careful not to touch the elec-trolyte when
removing the vent plugs. If the bat-tery electrolyte
makes contact with the skin or clothing, wash it off
immediately with water and then consult a doctor.
15

TM3215,3245,3265
(3) When replacing or inspecting the battery, stop the

engine and turn the main switch off, or elec-trical When disconnecting battery cords,
parts may be damaged or unexpected acci-dent disconnect negative cord first.
may occur.
(4) When disconnecting the battery cables, discon-nect

the earth cable (-) first without fail. When connecting
the battery cables, connect the posi-tive cable (+)
first. Disconnecting or connecting in wrong order
may lead to a short circuit or sparks.
■ TO HANDLE BOOSTER CABLES
When using booster cables, pay attention to the

following items for safe operation:
(1) Before connecting cables, remove the vent plugs.

This will lower the force in case of explosion.
(2) Before connecting cables, be sure to stop the en-

gine. Otherwise unexpected accidents may occur.
When connecting battery cords,

pacity. A cable of inadequate capacity will cause
generation of heat, which may lead to a fire.
■ SAFETY DECALS
The labels are stuck on the tractor. You should of

course read the safety instructions in the manual.
But never fail to read the labels on the machine as
well.
・The labels should always be clearly seen, that is,

nothing should obscure them.
・When they have become dirty, wash them with soapy
water and wipe off with soft cloth.
・If any of them are torn or lost, order new labels from
your dealer. Their codes are mentioned in "SAFETY
DECALS AND THEIR LOCATION."
・A new label should be placed in the same place where
the old one was located.
・When sticking on a new label, clean the place to

TM3215,3245,3265
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
FIG. 4-20: When the differential lock 1 pedal is lowered,

both sides of the rear axle are locked together to ensure
traction to both rear wheels. This is especially important
when operating in loose soil or slippery conditions. (Me-
chanical type) 1
In case of HST type, depress forward pedal slowly.
To engage the differential lock - Depress the clutch ped-
al and allow all rear wheel movement to stop. Depress
the lock pedal and slowly engage the clutch.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT engage with rear wheel(s)

spinning as severe damage may result.
To disengage the differential lock - Depress the clutch

pedal and release the differential lock pedal. The lock
pedal should normally return to the “off” position. FFFFFFFFF
NOTE: On occasion, differential lock pedal may re-

main engaged due to torque difference exerted
by rear wheels. In this case, tap brake pedals
alternately while tractor is slowly in motion to
release the pedal.
Dif lock pedal is locating at left side (HST type)
and right side (Mechanical type).
CAUTION: When differential lock is en-

gaged, steering ability of tractor will be
greatly reduced. Disengage before attempt-
ing a turn.
CAUTION: DO NOT use differential lock on

hard surfaces or when transporting the trac-
tor.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
FIG. 4-21: The four-wheel drive shift lever 1 engages

and disengages the drive for the front axle. With the le-
ver down, the front axle (4WD) is engaged. With the le-
ver up, the front axle is disengaged, and power is avail-
able to both front and rear axles.
NOTE: 4WD indicatior lamp will be illuminated when

you push down the 4WD control lever. FFFFFFFFF
IMPORTANT: Depress main clutch pedal and stop

tractor before engaging or disengaging
four-wheel drive.
When front axle is engaged, ground speed of front tires

is slightly faster than the speed of the rear tires. This is
to assist steering when four-wheel drive is selected.
For this reason, the front axle must be disengaged when
the tractor is transported or operated on a hard, dry
surface. Failure to do so will result in rapid wear of front
drive tires and possible driveline damage.
FFFFFFFFF
32

IMPORTANT: Always disengage front drive axle when

operating in conditions with minimal
wheel slippage (DRY OR HARD SUR-
FACES).
IMPORTANT: If tire replacement is necessary, identical

replacements must be installed to main-
tain correct front/rear axle ratio.
REAR PTO SELECTOR LEVER
FIG. 4-23: Rear PTO (power takeoff) selector lever, 1,

controls rear PTO on tractor.
When lever is backward, 540 rpm rear PTO is selected.
When returned to rear neutral (N) position, the gear le-
ver is disengaged. (In case of independent clutch model)
Rear PTO selector lever is operated with PTO control

switch on instrument panel. Refer to “Operation” selec- 1
tion for complete details.
IMPORTANT: Before moving rear PTO selector lever,

PTO control switch on steering column

TM3215,3245,3265
Position Control
Position control is used when attaching or detaching

implements and other operations requiring the imple-
ment to be kept at a constant height above the ground. It
is also used with tool bars having flexible row units and
implements equipped with gauge (support) wheels.
FIG. 4-26: The position control lever maintains hitch

position at a constant height in relation to the tractor.
As the position control lever 1 is moved backward, hitch
and implement are raised. Moving the lever forward will
lower hitch to selected position. Each lever setting pro-
vides a specific hitch and implement position.
The front lever stop 2 can be set to contact the position
control lever in the implement work position. This en-
ables the implement to be returned to the identical posi-
tion after the hitch has been raised for turning, transport- 2 1 3
ing, etc.
The rear lever stop 3 can be set to limit raising height, if
required.
NOTE: When starting engine, ensure implement is

lowered to the ground and lever is fully forward. FFFFFFFFF
This reduces load on starter due to hitch trying
to raise when engine is cranked.
FIG. 4-26: To begin work, align the tractor and imple-

ment in the field and move the position control lever 1
forward (toward DOWN). Adjust implement height using
the position control lever and set the adjustable stops 2
and 3 as desired.
When turning, move position control lever backward (to-
ward UP) to raise the implement and permit completion
of turn. Return the implement to the work position by se-
lecting the position control lever to the previous position
against the stop.
To finish work and transport, pull position control lever
rearward fully to UP position.
1
Lowering Rate Control Knob
FIG. 4-27: The lowering rate knob 1 adjusts the rate of

drop of the three-point hitch and implement. Turn knob FFFFFFFFF
clockwise to slow drop rate (increase lowering time),
counterclockwise to increase drop rate (decrease lower-
ing time). Turning the knob fully clockwise will lock the
implement (or hitch) in raised position for transport.
CAUTION: When working on or around mount-

ed implements, always lower to ground prior
to work. If implement must be raised, always
block implement and lower links securely.

available to both front and rear axles. With the lever up,
the front axle is disengaged. 2 1
NOTE: Illuminate the monitor lamp on the meter panel

when 4WD control lever is pushed down. 2 4
IMPORTANT: Depress main clutch pedal and stop

tractor before engaging or disengaging
four-wheel drive. Do not use 4-WD on
hard surfaces. Rapid wear of the front
tyres and possible drive line damage
could occur if 4-WD is operated for pro- FFFFFFFFF
longed periods on hard surfaces.
FIG. 5-19: When the front axle drive is engaged, the

ground speed of the front tyres will vary from that of rear
tyres. This is to assist steering when four-wheel drive
is selected. For this reason, the front axle must be dis-
engaged when the tractor is transported or operated on
a hard, dry surface. Failure to do so will result in rapid
wear of the front drive tyres and possible driveline dam-
age.
IMPORTANT: Always disengage front drive axle when

operating in conditions with minimal
wheel slippage (DRY OR HARD SUR-
FACES).
If tire replacement is necessary, identical
replacements must be installed to main-
tain correct front/rear axle ratio.

PTO OPERATING CONTROLS
Mechanical Transmission
The rear PTO is engaged and disengaged using the

lever. When the lever (1) is backward the rear PTO is
disengaged.
Use the following procedures when operating with PTO

tools, such as mowers, etc.
The tractors have a single clutch. With the PTO engaged

and transmission gears selected, the PTO will start turn-
ing and the tractor will start moving forward as the clutch
is released.
In operations such as mowing grass it will be necessary
to back the tractor up about two tractor lengths away
from uncut grass. This will allow time to start forward
motion and obtain correct PTO speed prior to entering
the area of uncut grass.
To select the rear PTO, push the clutch pedal completely
down to disengage drives to the PTO and transmission.
Lever (1) to M position in slot, and the gearshift levers
to selected gear. Release the clutch pedal at slow en-
gine speed to start the PTO and forward travel, then in-
crease engine speed to obtain the required PTO speed.
To select the mid mounted PTO, use the same proce-

dure as outlined rear PTO, but use the mid PTO control
lever. With the clutch pedal fully depressed move the
lever (2) to M position to engage the PTO and to N
position to disengage it.
IMPORTANT: Before moving the rear and mid-PTO 1

height in relation to the tractor. As the position control

lever (1) is moved rearward, the hitch (and implement)
are raised. Moving the lever forward will lower the hitch
to the selected position. Each lever setting provides a
specific hitch (and implement) position.
FIG. 5-29: Lowering Rate Control Handle (2) controls

the discharge rate of hydraulic oil thus adjusting lower-
ing speed of the hitch and implement. Turn the handle
clockwise to slow drop rate, counterclockwise to in-
crease drop rate. Turning the handle fully clockwise will
lock the implement in raised position.
CAUTION: When working on or around 2

mounted implements, always lower them to
ground prior to work. If an implement must
be raised, always block the implement and
the lower links securely. ¨
CAUTION: Always shut off the PTO and shut r

t
off the tractor engine before servicing any

PTO-driven implement. Allow all movement
and motion to stop before leaving opera- FFFFFFFFF
tor’s seat.
CAUTION: Use the position control lever

(FIG. 5-28-(1)) when attaching or detaching
an implements.
NOTE: When starting the engine, ensure the imple-

Lift Rods (2) - Connect the lower links to the hydraulic 2

lift arms for raising / lowering of the lower links. The lift
rod connected to the right lower link has provisions for
levelling the implement (side to side).
Check Chains (3) - Reduce side sway of the implement.
Top Link (4) - Adjustable, turn-buckle type to level im- 5

plement (from to rear).

with a linchpin. Attach the top link (4) to the top of the
implement hitch frame using the pin supplied with the
tractor. Rotate the centre barrel section of the top link,
to lengthen or shorten it, and level the implement from
front to rear. After the implement is attached, it can be
readjusted for level operation using the lift rod and top
link turn buckles. Secure all adjustments.
IMPORTANT: With some “mounted” implements, it will 1 3

be necessary to remove the drawbar at
rear of the tractor to permit the imple-
ment to be raised and lowered without
obstruction. FFFFFFFFF
FIG. 5-36: Certain implements require minimal sideplay.

The check chain (1) at each lower link should be evenly
adjusted to reduce side-play to the desirable level. Do
not, however, elimiate all side-play as chain or lower link
damage may result.
NOTE: The amount of side-play (check chain loose-

ness) is dependent upon the implement to be
mounted and type of operation. Normally 50
mm (2”) of total side movement is desired, 25
mm (1”) to each side of the tractor centre line.

engine off) before connecting or discon-
necting implement hoses.
CAUTION: Make sure all hydraulic hoses,

couplers and cylinders are in good condi-
tion before use. Damaged equipment is dan-
gerous.
FIG. 5-42: Most implements require double-acting hy-

draulics. Each implement cylinder will have two hoses
connected to it.
When single-acting service is required (cylinder with

only one hose), the inner “A” coupler will be used and 1
selector function, 1, must be turned to the left.

Roll Over Protect in Structure (ROPS)
Tractor is equipped with fold-down ROPS which can be

folded down and the Tractor functionally used in that 2
condition for low clearance situation such as orchards,
vineyards, barns, and chicken houses, etc.
Always raise ROPS in to the fully erect position at the
earliest time.
ROPS must be maintained in this fully raised position at
all times unless practical operation of the tractor dictates
other wise, (as described above).
How to Tilt ROPS 1
FIG. 5-43: Remove linchpin, (1), remove pin, (2) , and

tilt the ROPS rearward care fully.
FFFFFFFFF
CAUTION: Do not weld, drill, bend or
straighten. Make sure all components are
in correct working order to provide the in-
tended protection.
Only original bolts, or equivalent replace-
ments, must be used and tightened to cor-
rect torque value Make sure both “hinge”
joints are properly secured.
To prevent PIN ASSY from being lost,

insert the ring of wire onto knob and assemble it.

This tractor is equipped with center mounted roll-over 1
protective structure (Center ROPS). Seat belt must be
worn. 2 2
When the tractor is not being operated, the ROPS can
be folded down if it will hit the roof of the garage where it
is parked.
FIG. 5-45: After removing the lock pin, 1, and the pin, 2,
the upper portion, 3, of ROPS can be folded down to the
front.
FFFFFFFFF
FIG. 5-46: The upper portion, 3, of ROPS can be fixed (view from operator’s seat)
to folded position by installing the lock pin, 1, and the 2
pin, 2. 2
WARNING: Do not operate the tractor with

3
the ROPS folded down. This may result in
serious injury if the tractor rolls over.

TM3215,3245,3265
FIG. 6-28: Element may be cleaned (if in serviceable

condition) using following procedures:
・Using compressed air not to exceed 200kPa (30psi)
from the inside of the element, remove loose dirt,
grass, chaff, etc. Be careful not to damage element
pleats with air flow.
・If the element is coated with oil or soot:
1. Prepare solution of warm water and non-foaming
detergent.
2. Soak the element for thirty minutes.
3. Agitate the element in solution until oil and soot
are loosened.
4. Rinse the element until rinse water is clear.
5. Allow the element to completely dry. Do not dry by
using compressed air or heat.
・After cleaning (or washing) the element examine for
pin holes, punctures, or tears. If the element paper, FFFFFFFFF
canister or seal show any signs of physical damage,
the element must be replaced.
NOTE: Replaced an element which has already been

washed five times.
FUEL SYSTEM
Use only clean diesel fuel of correct grade. Introduction

of water or dirt into the fuel tank or other part of the fuel
system can cause repeated plugging of the fuel filter and
possible injection pump and injector damage.
IMPORTANT: Do not tamper with the injection pump

of injector adjustments as doing so may
ren-der the engine and / or tractor war-
ranty void and may cause severe engine
dam-age. Refer to a local ISEKI Dealer.
Fuel Filter
FIG. 6-29: Fuel filter assembly (1) is located at the right

side of the engine, and is used to strain impurities from
fuel before fuel reaches the injection pump.
Check the filter bowl for accumulation of sediment or
water and clean as required.
FFFFFFFFF
72

Fuel filter should be replaced by ASSY.

It is impossible to disassemble and maintenance.
Air-bleeding Procedure
Air bleeding is not necessary.
NOTE: Normally, further air-bleeding is not required

due to electric fuel pump operating when start-
er switch in instrument panel is ON. If engine
will not start after several attempts, check fuel
pump fuses (see Electrical System) and then
proceed as necessary.
CAUTION: Fuel emitted from loosened in-

jection lines is under high pressure. Keep
hands and face away when the engine is
cranked. Clean all spilled fuel following air-
bleeding procedure (s).
FFFFFFFFF
Throttle Lever
FIG. 6-31: The throttle lever should remain in the posi-

tion selected by the operator. Through normal use, fric-
tion against the lever may decrease, causing the lever to
move out of the selected position. Turn the adjusting nut
(1) as required to retain the throttle lever in the position
selected.
NOTE: Throttle lever friction adjustment nut is reached

by removing the steering column cover, and in-
strument panel.
