Kubota Diesel Engine
Bleed Fuel System
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine, and engage parking brake.
2. Make sure fuel tank is at least half full. Unlatch and
raise hood.
DANGER
Because diesel fuel is highly flammable, use cau-
tion when storing or handling it. Do not smoke
while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill fuel tank
while engine is running or hot, or when machine
is in an enclosed area. Always fill fuel tank out-
side and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before
starting the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety--
approved container and keep cap in place. Use
diesel fuel for the engine only; not for any other
purpose.
3. Open air bleed screw on the fuel injection pump.
IMPORTANT: The engine should normally start af-
ter the bleeding procedures are followed. However,
if the engine does not start, air may be trapped be-
tween injection pump and injectors (see Bleed Air
from Fuel Injectors).
4. Turn ignition key switch to the ON position. The elec-
tric fuel pump will begin operation and force air out
around the air bleed screw. Leave key in the ON position
until a solid stream of fuel flows out around the air bleed
screw. Tighten screw and turn key to OFF.
5. Clean up any spilled fuel.
6. Close and secure hood.
