When
Air bleeding of the fuel system is required if:
the fuel filter and pipes have been detached and re-installed
the fuel tank has been emptied or run dry
the machine is to be operated after long-term storage
Procedure
Follow the procedure below to bleed air from the fuel system.

2. Open the fuel filter lever (a) by turning it clockwise.
3. Turn the starting key (g) clockwise to the ON (first) position.
