After fuel filter replacement, bleed the air out of the
fuel system by following the fuel bleeding procedure.
Fuel Bleeding Procedure
When the fuel filter is removed and replaced, or the
engine runs out of fuel, air must be bled from the sys-
tem. Refer to the following procedure for proper bleed-
ing procedures.
1. Loosen the air bleed vent screw (D) two full turns
by hand on the filter base.
2. Operate the fuel supply pump primer lever (E)
until fuel flows out of the bleed vent screw.
3. Tighten bleed vent screw securely. Continue oper-
ating the primer until pumping action is not felt.
4. Start engine and check for leaks.
If the engine will not start, repeat steps 1-4.

CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND FILTER

plug.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT discharge oil onto ground.
Catch and dispose of per local waste disposal
regulations.
2. The engine oil filter should be changed at every oil
change interval. Using a suitable filter wrench,
remove and discard the filter.

WARNING
Escaping diesel fuel under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin. Before
applying pressure to the fuel system, BE
SURE all connections are tight and lines and
hoses are not damaged. Use a piece of wood
or cardboard to search for suspected leaks. If
injured by escaping fuel, see a doctor familiar
with this type of injury at once or gangrene
may result.
