RESTARTING AFTER ADDING
FUEL
BLEEDING AIR FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: NEVER use the starter
motor to crank the engine in order to
prime the fuel system. This may cause the
starter motor to overheat and damage the
coils, pinion gear and/or ring gear.
IMPORTANT: If the engine stalls due to
fuel shortage, add fuel, turn the key to the
ON position for 60 seconds, and then turn
it to the START position. Running the
starter for a long time before there is
enough fuel is going through can cause
the starter to fail.
1. Add fuel.

2. Loosen the vent plug (5) of the main fuel
filter (2).
3. Turn the starter key to the ON position and
wait for the air to be bled from the vent
plug (5).
4. Retighten the vent plug (5) when air
bleeding is finished and fuel starts leaking
out from around the vent plug (5).
· Tightening torque: 8 to 12 N·m (6 to 9
ft-lb)
5. Turn and hold the starter key to the ON
position for three minutes before turning it
back to the OFF position.
Note: Air in the fuel system causes the
engine to fail to start or to have other
problems. Always bleed air when the fuel
tank is emptied or when there is air in the
fuel system.
