The Deutz 2.9L Tier 4 engines utilize a common rail fuel injection system. Gone is the familiar lift pump and injector pump arrangement. These engines use an electric fuel pump to deliver fuel through the filter to the high pressure fuel pump. The pump is mounted near the fuel tank near the replaceable cartridge fuel filter.

Enclosed wiring terminals help to protect against corrosion-causing moisture, however, they can be susceptible to water intrusion. Time, pressure washing, improper or loose re-assembly, and damage are all factors that contribute to failure of a connector.

As a required part of each inspection, wheel assemblies and their connection to the machine must be checked. This includes looking for any signs of damage and ensuring that the wheel bolts are properly tightened. If any wheel bolts are found to be loose or not at the correct torque value of 90 ft-lb (122 Nm), each component (wheel rim, wheel bolts, hub) should be inspected to ensure that there is no damage, prior to re-assembly.
