3.8 Fuel circuit connection
Inside the generator are two pipe fittings (
Fig. 13 Ref. 1
)
marked ‘DIESEL OIL’ and ‘DIESEL OIL RETURN’ to
which the pipes from the tank must be connected. (
Fig.
13 Ref. 2
)
It is important to secure all connections with clamps able
to guarantee maximum air-tightness in order to prevent
air bubbles penetrating inside the feed circuit. These can
cause running problems. Pass the pipes through the
special lined holes (
Fig. 14 Ref. 3
) in the walls of the
soundproof casing.
3.9 System bleeding
The presence of air bubbles inside the feed circuit
causes irregular motor function or prevents achieving the
number of rated revs.
Air can penetrate inside the feed circuit through a faulty-
seal joint (pipes, filters, tanks) or when fuel inside the
tank is at minimum level. To eliminate the air inside the
feed circuit, it will be necessary to first of all remove the
cause whereby it got in. Carry out the following operations:
1 - Press the ‘ON’ button on the control panel and wait
until the indicator light ‘GLOW PLUG’ goes off.
2 - Loosen the bleed screws on the fuel filter and on the
injection pump (see motor use and
maintenance manual).
3 - Move the SC fuel pump lever manually until all the
air inside the feed system comes out through the
bleed screws.
4 - Tighten the bleed screws and start the motor.
5 - Repeat the above operation if motor operation is still
irregular.
Refer to the motor use and maintenance manual for
more details about the power system.
