a. With the APU installed in the shelter, vehicle fuel line attached to fuel transfer pump, and fuel return
line attached from day tank back to vehicle fuel tank, position MASTER ON-OFF switch to ON.

goes out).
d. Open fuel bleed port (1, Figure 4-16) on the injection pump.
WARNING
Ensure that NO IGNITION SOURCE is within 50 feet of
the 10 kW APU. The fuel in this APU is highly flammable.
Do not smoke. Do not splash fuel on hot components.
Failure to heed this warning could result in serious injury
to personnel or DEATH.
WARNING
Avoid fuel contact with skin. Wear protective gloves,
goggles, apron and mask, while disconnecting fuel lines.
Failure to this warning could result in serious injury to
personnel or DEATH.
NOTE
Service of the fuel system is accomplished by bleeding air
out from the fuel system. Bleeding the fuel system must be
performed whenever a major component of the fuel system
has been replaced or during service upon receipt to prime
the system. Normally, the APU will not need to be primed
each time it is started.
NOTE
Use suitable container to catch purged fuel.
