Simplicity 9518 Series User Manual

1. Shut-off fuel at the sediment bowl.
2. Wipe all dirt from the fuel filter assembly. Remove
filter element and discard element and gasket.
3. Install a new filter element and new gasket ob¬
tained from your authorized dealer. Before tighten¬
ing filter in place, turn on fuel at fuel shut-off valve
until new filter is filled with fuel, then securely
hand tighten retainer onto filter head. Before at¬
tempting to start engine be sure to follow the
procedure for bleeding air from the fuel system,
given below.
Poor fuel handling and storage facilities will de¬
crease fuel filter life and require replacement more
frequently. When abnormal loss of speed and/or
engine power is observed check and clean fuel
sediment bowl. If loss of power continues, replace
fuel filter element. To continue operating with a
plugged filter may allow dirt to be forced through
and cause severe damage to fuel injection pump.
TO BLEED AIR FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM
(Figures 8 & 9)
Each time sediment bowl is cleaned or fuel filter re¬
placed bleed air from fuel system as follows:
1. Make sure fuel tank is full and shut-off valve is
open for full fuel flow.
2. To bleed air from fuel line, loosen the two fuel
bleed screws (1 & 2) on fuel filter head and when
air free fuel appears, tighten bleed screws (1 &2).
3. Loosen bleed screw (3) at injection pump and
when air free fuel appears, tighten bleed screw (3).
4. Start the engine. If engine fails to start after a rea¬
sonable cranking period, there may be some air
bubbles in the high pressure injection lines. Par¬
tially loosen the high pressure lines where they
attach to injector nozzles and turn engine over
several times. Tighten lines and start engine.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow engine to run out of fuel.
To do so may seriously damage the fuel injection pump.
Keep track of the fuel supply in the tank and when it
gets low stop engine until tank is refilled.
