Oil Injection Set Up
1. Fill engine oil tank with oil.
2. Inspect the oil pump inlet hose (a) for air bubbles.
If air exists, place a shop towel below the oil pump
and loosen bleed screw (c) four turns. Allow oil to
flow out of the bleed hole until air is removed from
the hose.
3. Inspect the oil pump outlet oil hose (b) for air
bubbles. If air exists, disconnect link rod from oil
pump. Start engine and run at 1000 to 1500 RPM.
Rotate (and hold) the pump arm full clockwise un-
til the air is purged out of the hose.

4. Remove the filler cap and fill remote tank with oil. Oil
tank capacity is 3 gallons (11.5 liters). Reinstall filler

IMPORTANT: Always make sure the oil tank caps
are threaded on tight. An air leak will prevent oil
flow to the engine.
