C.4 Air-bleeding of the Fuel System
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):
1.) Switch the main power switch on con-
trol panel to "ON".
2.) Push failure bypass switch and hold
tight. The electric fuel pump has to be run-
ning 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).
3.) After the fuel pump has been running 3
to 4 minutes because the failure bypass
switch has been pushed down the blee-
ding screw of the solenoid valve has to be
unscrewed. When opening the screw one
has to carry on pushing the switch. To
avoid fuel getting in the sound cover a
piece of cloth or absorbent paper should
be put under the connection. As soon as
fuel is running out without bubbles the air
bleeding screw can be screwed in again.
Now stop pushing the failure bypass
switch.
4.) Now the unit can be started by pushing
the "START"-button. The unit should start
after a short while. Should the unit not
start the pipe union nuts of the injection
nozzles has to be loosen and lift the injec-
tion pipe a few millimeter. Try again to
start the unit. After the unit has started the
pipe union nut has to be tightened again.
