Bleeding the Fuel System
IMPORTANT: The fuel system must be primed when a new or rebuilt engine is started for the first time, if it runs out of fuel, or if maintenance is per- formed on the fuel system.
1.Park machine on a level surface. Make sure fuel tank is at least half full.
2.Unlatch and raise hood.
DANGER
Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution when storing or handling it. Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot, running, or when the in an enclosed area. Always fill the fuel tank outside. Wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before starting the engine. Store fuel in a clean safety±approved container with its cap on. Use diesel fuel for the engine only and no other purpose.
3.Open fuel shutoff valve (1) located under the fuel tank and on the fuel filter (Fig. 10).
4.Open both bleed screws (2) located on the side of the fuel filter mounting head. Allow bowl (3) to refill with fuel. Close bleed screws when the bowl is filled (Fig. 10).
5.On the front of the engine by the oil filter, find trans- fer pump inlet screw location (2). Note fitting angle (5) on the transfer pump inlet and loosen left transfer pump screw (1) only (Fig. 11).
6.When a steady stream of fuel flows out of the trans- fer pump screw (1), tighten screw and retain noted fitting angle (5) from step 5 above (Fig. 11).
7.Loosen injection pump inlet screw (3) on the front of the engine (Fig. 11).
8.Pump priming lever (4) until a steady stream of fuel flows out of injection pump inlet screw (3), then tighten screw. Do not over tighten inlet screw (Fig. 11).
