PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM

Priming the fuel system fills the fuel filters and removes any air bubbles from the fuel system. This must be performed before the first use, after any fuel filter maintenance or if the fuel system is run dry.

WARNING

To prime the fuel system:

On the water separator:

1.Using a 1/2” wrench, loosen the vent screw (A, Figure 2) on the water separator 2-3 revolutions.

2.Unscrew the priming hand pump (B) located on top of the water separator. Operate the hand pump up and down until fuel that is free of air flows from the vent.

3.Tighten the vent screw to 4.5 ft/lbs (6 N.m.). DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!

On the engine fuel filter:

1.Using the appropriate size wrench, loosen the vent screw (C) on the engine fuel filter 2-3 revolutions.

3.Tighten the vent screw to 4.5 ft/lbs (6 N.m.). DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!

On the engine injector pump:

1.Using a 13mm wrench, loosen the vent screw (D) on the fuel inlet 2-3 revolutions.

2.Operate the hand pump up and down until fuel that is free of air flows from the vent.
