Service and Maintenance
Hand pump
After working on the fuel system (e.g. when changing a fuel
filter) or when the fuel tank has been run dry, the fuel needs
to be pumped in manually. Approximately 15 pumps with
the hand pump is usually sufficient.
The fuel system does not usually require bleeding after run-
ning out of fuel, but it is wise after changing the fuel filter to
open the air nipple on the filter console and pump a few
times with the hand pump. By doing this you fill the empty
filters with fuel.
Condensation
Once a year, suitably in the autumn, the fuel tank bottom
plug should be removed to allow for possible sludge and
condensation to run out . By doing this, the risk of water get-
ting into the engine and causing running problems is avoid-
ed. Do this:
1. Place a receptacle under the fuel tank.
2. Loosen the plug and unscrew it until water starts running
out of the plug’s drain hole. Do not unscrew the plug
completely. Otherwise, you will empty the tank!
3. Let it run until pure fuel comes out.
4. Screw in the plug.
If condensation is found in the fuel tank during this check,
the filters should be changed while the tank is being
drained.
