AFTER RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
WARNING
When air bleed plug (2) at the top of the fuel filter head or supply pump air breather (4) are removed, the system is still under
pressure, so fuel may spurt out. Loosen these parts slowly before opening them.
When starting after running out of fuel, fill the filter cartridge with fuel and bleed the air from the fuel system before
starting.
PROCEDURE FOR BLEEDING AIR
1.
Remove the fuel filter cartridge, fill the filter case with fuel, then install again.
NOTICE
The common rail type fuel injection system used on this machine consists of higher precision parts than the conventional
injection pump and nozzle. This means that problems are more likely to occur when dust or dirt gets in. For this reason, take
even more care than usual not to let dirt or dust get in during inspection or maintenance. If any dirt should be stuck to any part,
use fuel to wash it off completely.
If clean fuel is not available, keep the fuel cartridge in position and bleed the air with the priming pump lever (4).
NOTICE
When filling with fuel, use clean fuel and be careful not to let any dust or
dirt get in. Portion (B) at the center is the clean side, so be particularly
careful not to let any dust or dirt get in.
When adding fuel, always add from small hole (A) at eight places on the
dirty side.
