16.1 WHEN MACHINE RUNS OUT OF FUEL
WARNING
The engine will start, so check carefully that the area around the
engine is safe before cranking the engine.
If the machine has run out of fuel, add fuel and then bleed the
air from the fuel system before starting the engine.
PROCEDURE FOR BLEEDING AIR
Turn the key in the starting switch to the START position and
crank the engine for 15 – 20 seconds. Repeat this procedure 3 – 4
times to bleed the air.
Do not turn the starting motor continuously for more than 20
seconds. Wait for 2 minutes before turning the starting motor again.
The air can be bled more quickly if the fuel tank is completely
filled with fuel.
The air can be bled by hand-moving feed pump lever 1 up and
down.
