CAUTION
The fuel injection system may fail if the engine
stops due to lack of fuel.
1. Loosen air vent plug on the fuel filter by using
a wrench.
NOTE:
Use whichever of the two air vent plugs is the most
convenient; both plugs provide the same effect. Do
not use both plugs together.
2. Cover the pipe portion of the loosened air vent
plug with a cloth and operate the manual pump
to pump fuel.
3. Fuel containing air bubbles will flow out from the
air vent plug. Continue pumping some dozen
times until the fuel no longer contains any air
bubbles.
NOTE:
Alternatively, connect a hose (of 8 mm {0.31 in}
inside diameter, commercially available) to the pipe
portion of the air vent plug in order to prevent fuel
from splashing.
Use a transparent hose so you can easily check for
air bubbles in the drained fuel.
4. When fuel is bubble-free, firmly tighten the air
vent plug. Then, operate the manual pump sev-
eral more times until it becomes hard to press.
When the fuel is cold, the manual pump may not
become hard to press. Even so, you must oper-
ate the manual pump several times after tighten-
ing the air vent plug.
5. After the fuel system has been completely bled,
wipe off spilt fuel and start the engine.
6. Check that there is no fuel leakage.
