Oil Pump Priming
This priming procedure must be performed whenever the oil hose
connection between the oil tank and pump inlet has been disconnected.
1. Clamp or pinch off the vent line (1)
approximately 2I (5 cm) from the oil
tank (2), between the end of the oil
tank vent fitting and the vent line’s
pressure relief slit (3).
2. Run the engine for 10-20 seconds.
3. Remove the vent line clamp. If the
line is bled properly, you should hear a
rush of air, indicating that the line is
properly primed and ready for operation. If you do not hear air,
the line has not bled, and you’ll need to repeat the priming
procedure.
