WHEN MACHINE RUNS OUT OF FUEL
In case that the machine has run out of fuel, start the engine again only after refilling fuel, filling the water separator
and fuel filter cartridge with clean fuel and bleeding air from the fuel system.
Always watch the fuel level and be careful not to run out of fuel.
If the engine has stopped because of lack of fuel, it is necessary to use the priming pump to bleed the air completely
from the fuel circuit.
PROCEDURE FOR BLEEDING AIR
CAUTION
Be careful when unscrewing the air bleeding plug on the fuel filter head. Oil may spurt out due to the residual pressure inside the
tank.
If clean fuel is not available, go on to Step 3.
1.
Remove water separator (1), fill the inside of the strainer with
clean fuel, taking care not to let dirt or dust get in, then install
it again.
2.
Remove fuel filter cartridge (2), fill the inside of the filter with
clean fuel, taking care not to let dirt or dust get in, then install
it again.
Add fuel from small hole (A) (dirty side) at eight places. Do not
add fuel from hole (B) (clean side) at the center.
3.
Loosen air bleed plug (3) at the fuel filter head.
4.
Bleed air with priming pump (4) and check that air bubbles
come out of air bleeding plug (3), followed by fuel.
5.
Tighten air bleed plug (3).
Tightening torque: 7.8 to 9.8 Nm (0.8 to 1 kgm , 5.8 to 7.2 lbft)
6.
Turn the key in the starting switch to the START position and start the engine.
When doing this, do not crank the starting motor continuously for more than 20 seconds. If the engine does not
start, wait for at least 2 minutes, then try again. Perform this operation a maximum of 4 times.
7.
If the engine does not start, repeat the operation from Step 3.
