The fuel system shouldn't need bleeding unless maintenance has been carried out (e.g. fuel filter).
Should the need to bleed the fuel system occur ensure the fuel tank has at least 10L of diesel.
Be aware of the generator model type below as there are different methods to bleed the fuel system.
SSD6000 - SSD6000S - SSD6000/3PH
These generator model types have an easy bleed fuel system with the aid of a low pressure 12V fuel pump.

• Slowly begin to turn the key to the
START
position until the

lamp goes out. You should also hear
the 12V fuel lift pump operate. Hold the key at this position for approximately 1 minute, this should be
enough time to allow the fuel to completely fill the system. Turn the key back to the
STOP
position.
The SE6000D4 has no 12V low pressure fuel pump and solely relies on gravity to feed fuel to the injection
pump. This requires a manual approach to bleed the fuel system.
