Bleed Air from the Fuel System
IMPORTANT: Air in the fuel system will cause the en-
gine to start hard and/or run roughly. Be
sure to bleed air from the system after
replacing the fuel filter or draining the
tank.
Bleeding Procedure (Automatic Bleeding Device):
1. Confirm that the fuel level is more than one-half of
the tank capacity. If the fuel level is lower, automatic
bleeding cannot be done. Add fuel.
2. Turn the key switch ON and hold for 10 to 15 sec-
onds to engage automatic bleeding.
3. Start the engine and check for fuel leakage.
