2) Spray pattern inspection
After adjustment to the specified valve opening
pressure, use a nozzle tester and check the spray
pattern and seat oil-tightness.
a) Seat oil tightness check
• After injecting a few times, increase the pressure
gradually. Hold the pressure for about 5 seconds
at a little before the valve opening pressure of
1.96 MPa (20kgf/cm
2
), and check to see that oil
does not drip from the tip end of the nozzle.
• If extreme oil leak from the overflow joint exists
during injection by the nozzle tester, check after
retightening. If much oil is leaking, replace the
nozzle assembly.
