rated earlier than two years, then
change them immediately.
4.
After the fuel pipe and hose clamps

IMPORTANT
BLEEDING FUEL SYSTEM (AK)
The fuel line for the KIOTI engine is
designed to be bled automatically.
If the engine still cannot be started
even after 4~5 times of cranking,
bleed as followed:
Do not crank the engine for more
than 5 seconds continuously at a
time to protect the start motor and
battery.
It is recommended to start servic-
ing after lling the fuel tank to its
top for easy bleeding, as it might
be needed to bleed the fuel line
after servicing the fuel system.
