LIGHT LOAD ADVANCE OPERATIONAL
CHECKOUT (ROTARY PUMPS)
To check operation of the light load advance, perform the
following:
1. Install JT07158 (FKM10429A) TIME TRAC Kit.
2. Operate engine at full load and rated speed. Note
injection pump timing on TIME TRAC.
3. Gradually decrease load to the engine. Timing should
continue to retard as the load is removed, but should
start to advance again as the light load advance begins
to operate at about 50 percent load.
4. If timing does not advance, the light load advance is
not operating properly. Have the injection pump
serviced/repaired by an authorized ADS Diesel Repair
Station.
