Repeat this procedure several times.
The generator can be started for 5 minutes, if there is no change. De-aerating must be then repeated two or three
times.
To be sure that the coolant circulates it is very important that the hose pipe away from the genset also gets warm.
After a short time the radiator and the reverse-flow pipe from the radiator to the genset also get warm.
Please wait until the temperatures raise more and check if the fan will activate.
It makes sense to, once again, repeat the de-aerating procedure after a few days, in order to ensure that remaining
air bubbles have been finally removed.

Normally, the fuel system is designed to bleed out air itself i.e. as soon as the electric starter motor starts operation
the fuel pump starts working and the fuel system will be air-bleed after some time automatically. It is nevertheless
essential to bleed the system as follows prior to the first operation (as all hoses are empty):
Fig. 7.7-1: Failure bypass switch
1.) Switch the main power switch on control panel to "ON".
2.) Push failure bypass switch and hold tight. The electric fuel pump has to
be running audibly. By moving the failure bypass switch you can hear the
solenoid valve of the generator starting and stopping (when the sound cover
is taken off).
