8.5.2 Priming The Fuel System
The mechanical fuel lift pump (See Figure 8
−
6) is
mounted on the engine next to the injection pump. This
pump has a manual plunger for priming the fuel system
when the fuel tank has been run dry.
To prime the fuel system, use the following steps:
a. Turn the bleed valve (red) counter-clockwise until ful-
ly opened.
b. Turn the top of the manual plunger counter-clockwise
to unlock it.
S-L-O-W-L-Y
(up/down once per second)
pump the manual plunger until positive pressure (re-
sistance) is felt. This may take up to 200 strokes. This
will indicate fuel flow.
c. Continue to pump
S-L-O-W-L-Y
(up/down once per
second) approximately 100 more strokes to fill the fil-
ter and bleed the air out of the lines.
d. Start engine. It may be necessary to continue to
pump until the engine starts.
CAUTION
Running the engine for an extended period
of time with the manual plunger up can
cause a priming pump failure
e. Depress and turn the top of the manual plunger clock-
wise to
lock in place.
f. When engine is running smoothly, turn bleed valve
clockwise until fully closed.

8.5.3 Mechanical Fuel Pump Screen
The fuel screen
(See Figure 8
−
7) may become plugged
or restricted with foreign particles or wax as a result of
using the wrong grade of fuel or untreated fuel in cold
weather. This will cause the engine to lose power. The
screen must be cleaned on a regular schedule such as
unit pre-trip or when the oil and fuel filters are changed.
(Refer to Section 8.2).
