6.11.1 Ventilating the fuel system
Normally, the fuel system is designed to ventilate air itself i.e. as soon as the electric starter motor starts operation
the fuel pump starts working and the fuel system will be de-aerated after some time automatically. It is nevertheless
essential to ventilate the system prior to the first operation (as all hoses are empty) as follows:
1. Power switch "ON". Functional lights should light up.

2. Press failure bypass switch and keep firmly pressed.
The electrical fuel pump must be audible. Switching on
and off the solenoid valve at the generator will be audible
by pressing the failure bypass switch (if capsule remo-
ved).
