Subject: Inspection and replacement of the submersible fuel level


sender 5755655580 in the fuel tank

ISSUE:

A fault in the submersible fuel level sender may cause the content of
the fuel tank to be displayed incorrectly.

This may cause the diesel engine and machine to halt due to lack
of fuel. There may be some delay when attempting to re-start the
engine.

ACTION:

Keep a stock of the required submersible fuel level senders in appropriate


numbers for the machines you operate.
Inspect the likely affected machines.
First inspect the manufacture date of the submersible fuel level sender.
The submersible fuel level sender only needs to be changed if the last two figures
of the manufacturing date are 04 (e.g. 04.04 or 12.04).

When replacing the submersible fuel level sender, proceed as follows:

1. Switch off the ignition.


2. Remove the cable to the submersible fuel level sender.
3. Mark the position of the submersible fuel level sender so that you can ensure
the new submersible fuel level sender is not twisted when installed.
4. Unscrew the screws on the flange, and slowly remove the submersible fuel
level sender, ensuring that no fuel escapes into the environment.
5. Temporarily cover up the connection flange in the fuel tank.
6. Remove the adhesive decal with the transit retainer from the new
submersible fuel level sender.
7. Submerge the new submersible fuel level sender into the fuel tank, and pull
it out again slowly after approximately 10 seconds, ensuring that new fuel
escapes into the environment.
8. Connect the cable to the submersible fuel level sender.
9. Create contact between the flange of the submersible fuel level sender and
an electrically conducting part of the machine frame and fix, ensuring that the
submersible fuel level sender is vertical and that the float is at the lowest
position.
10. Turn on the ignition and check that the pointer in the gauge is pointing to "0".
11. Correct the pointer position if required by rotating the calibration screw on
the gauge (access by removing the side cover on the fittings box and
removing the sticker on the side of the gauge).
12. Switch off the ignition.
13. Remove the cable from the submersible fuel level sender and rotate the
submersible fuel level sender several times, ensuring that you can hear the
float moving seamlessly in the submerged pipe.
14. Clean the seal surface around the fuel tank, ensuring that no foreign bodies
or dirt enter the tank.
15. Insert the submersible fuel level sender into the fuel tank using the new seal
and fix with screws, check it matches the originally marked position (step 3)
and there is a good, electrically conducting connection between the flange on
the submersible fuel level sender and the fuel tank.
16. Connect the cable to the submersible fuel level sender.
17. Turn on the ignition, ensuring that the position of the pointer in the fuel level
gauge corresponds to the approximate tank content.

Below are figures that illustrate how to install the device and locate the
manufacturing date.

Investigation and replacement work can be done under guarantee:

- investigation: max. 1.5 hours travel time with no travel expenses


- replacement of submersible fuel level sender: max. 1.5 hours travel time with no
travel expenses
max. 0.5 hours working time and material costs if the old submersible fuel level
sender is returned (if you are outside the EU, sending a photograph on which both
the manufacturing date of the submersible fuel level sender and the identification
plate of the machine can be seen is sufficient, rather than returning the faulty part).
