key in this position until all the air has escaped from the delivery valve holder fitting on
the fuel pump and diesel starts to trickle out, then turn the starter key back to the off
position.
5. Then tighten the Delivery valve holder and the Brass injector pipe.
Now the fuel system has been bled and the generator should start.
6. If the engine still will not start repeat steps 1-5 but turn key to start position and diesel
should squirt out of delivery valve holder. Once this has been achieved go to step 6.

5.4 Fuel system bleeding procedure SSD6000/S
A self-bleeding system is fitted to these generators; the engine should not need
bleeding unless maintenance has been carried out.
Before attempting to bleed the fuel system on the SSD6000/S ensure the tank has at
least 10 litres of fuel.
1. Turn the starter key to the first position, do not start the generator. The battery and
low oil pressure warning lamps should be illuminated.
2. Then slowly turn the starter key to the spring position until the battery warning lamp
goes out. You should also hear the fuel solenoid click to indicate it is open; the fuel lift
pump will also be operational. Hold the key in this position for around 1 minute, turn
the starter key back to the off position.
Now the fuel system has been bled and the generator should start.
Note: If a Deepsea 3110 control module is fitted to the generator you have a fuel
pump prime button to bleed the system with.

Before connecting plugs into generator ensure the load is turned off. If this is not possible
turn the circuit breaker to the off position.
The 230v Supply is Neutral bonded to earth.
The 115v Supply is CTE. (Centre Tapped to Earth)
Turn the voltage selector switch to the required voltage.
Connect the plug/plugs into the generator.
Switch on the load / Circuit breaker.
Always turn load off before stopping generator.
5.6 Long term storage
For storage or long periods of inactivity, Stephill Generators recommend the following:
Generators should be stored with oil filled to the correct capacity; Storage periods of 18
months and over may require special lubricants and treatments. If so please seek further
advice from the engine manufacturer.
Before the generator is used after long term storage, all fuels and oils should be replaced.
Generator mounts, pipes and hoses should be checked to ensure that they are un-
perished following extended periods of storage.
The generator should be stored in a clean dry area, ideally having a reasonable constant
ambient temperature, and ideally not below freezing.
