Fuel system air bleeding
WARNING
Risk of fire and explosion!
Diesel fuel is highly flammable and explosive under
certain conditions.
When venting the fuel system, place an oil pan un-
derneath the vent port. Avoid using workshop rags to
collect fuel. Wipe away droplets of fuel immediately.
After charging, be sure to close the air vent.
Wear eye protection. The fuel system is pressurised,
which means that fuel may spray out when you open
the vent port.
If the unit is equipped with an electronic fuel pump,
turn the key switch to the ON position for 10-15 sec-
onds or until fuel flows from the vent port with no air
bubbles, which indicates that filling is complete.
Failure to comply with regulations may result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION
Be environmentally responsible. Dispose of used oil
in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Failure to comply with laws and regulations will result
in serious damage to the environment.
Comply with EPA guidelines or government meas-
ures for the correct handling of hazardous materials
(such as oil, diesel and engine coolant). Consult the
local authorities or recycling facility.
Irresponsible handling of hazardous materials, such
as dumping hazardous waste into water channels, on
the ground, into groundwater or drainage ditches, is
prohibited.
The fuel system requires air bleeding under
the following circumstances:
●
Before starting the engine for the first time.
●
After running out of fuel and adding fuel to
the tank.
●
After carrying out maintenance on the fuel
system, such as changing the fuel filter/
water trap, or replacing fuel system compo-
nents.

electronic fuel pump:
–
Place an oil pan underneath the vent port.
