Fuel System Priming
If air remains in the fuel inlet line to the engine, it may
cause the engine to run in an abnormal condition. Air may
impact the starting capability of the engine, and may also
result in surging engine speeds.
If the machine happens to have run out of fuel, or if the
fuel filter has been replaced, air may need to be bleed
using the following procedure:
1.
Shut down engine.
2.
Fill fuel tank.
3.
Loosen plug (2, Figure 44).
4.
Turn starter switch to the "I" (ON) position to activate
electric fuel pump which sends fuel under pressure to
each injection nozzle and to bleed off pipes of each
nozzle holder, and then returns air the fuel tank
5.
After air has been bleed, tighten plug (2, Figure 44) in
fuel prefilter head.
6.
Start engine and check fuel system for leaks.
WARNING!
Exchange filter after waiting for engine to cool. Be
careful of fire hazards. Do not smoke.
