Bleed the fuel line
This is a two man operation. Place rags
under the bleeding points to catch flow of
fuel.
The fuel system should be bled to
1.
remove possible trapped air from
the system before first use and after
each fuel filter, fuel tank flushing,
or general service of the diesel
generator. Note: Place rags at the
bleeding points to capture spilled fuel.
Turn the fuel valve to the off position.
2.
Top off fuel tank with fresh diesel
fuel. Slide the hose clamp away from
the fuel pump end. Loosen the hose
at the pump to allow fuel to bleed
out. Turn the fuel valve to its open
position. Depress the decompression
lever and while holding it down crank
the engine for a few seconds at a
time. Fuel and trapped air will emerge
from the line and as soon as just fuel
flows without traces of air, push the
fuel line back onto the intake of the
pump and stop cranking the engine.
Reattach the hose clamp.
note:
Never crank the engine more than
ten seconds at a time. Allow at least
one minute prior to further cranking.
Using two wrenches, hold the injector
3.
with one and back off the steel feed
line nut with the other wrench. Repeat
the above mentioned flushing cycle
to bleed the air from the injector.
Wipe all spilled fuel from the engine
and components. Note: Do not
close the fuel valve with the engine
running. This may only be done for
the intention of shutting the engine off
should the fuel shut-off system fail.
connect the Battery
The Generator ships with the nega-
1.
tive battery cable disconnected.
Before the generator can be started
the covering on the battery cable
must be removed and the cable must
be secured to the negative ground
terminal on the battery. Recheck bat-
tery’s positive terminal connection for
tightness.
How to shut engine off
A diesel engine is not operated like a
gasoline engine. When operating a
diesel engine, one should be aware
of various options of how to shut the
engine off.
