D.6.5 Ventilating Air from the Fuel System
Normally, the fuel system is designed to vent air itself i.e. as soon as the electric starter motor
starts; the fuel pump starts working and the fuel system will be air-vent automatically after some
time. It is, nevertheless essential, to vent the system as follows prior to the first operation (as all
hoses are empty):
1. Switch main power switch on control panel "ON".
2. Push failure bypass switch and hold tight.
The electric fuel pump has to be run audibly. By moving the failure bypass switch you can hear
the solenoid valve of the generator starting and stopping (when the sound insulation cover is
taken off).
3. After the fuel pump has been running 3 to 4 minutes, because the failure bypass switch has
been pressed down, the bleeding screw of the solenoid valve has to be unscrewed. The switch
has to be continuously depressed, when opening the screw. A piece of cloth or absorbent paper
should be put under the connection to avoid fuel entering the sound insulation cover.
4. The air vent screw can be screwed in again, as soon as fuel runs out without bubbles. Then
release the depressing the failure bypass switch.
5. Starting the generator
Now the generator can be started by pushing the "START"-button. The generator should start
after a short while. One of the pipe union nuts of an injection hose has to be unscrewed, should
the unit not start; then try to restart the generator. After the generator has started, the pipe union
nut has to be tightened again.
