WARNING
The fuels in this generator set are flammable. Do not smoke or use open flames
when performing maintenance. Do not service or drain the fuel system while open
flames are present. Flames and explosion could result in severe personal injury or
death. Use a container or cloth to catch any excess fuel to prevent spilling over
engine components. Be sure to properly dispose of diesel fuel and diesel fuel soaked
cloths.
WARNING
Hot fueling of generator sets while they are operating presents a safety hazard and
should not be attempted. Hot engine surfaces and sparks produced from the engine
and generator circuitry are possible sources of ignition. Failure to observe this
warning could result in severe personal injury or death.
(1) Check that fuel tank has fuel and that fuel shutoff valve (Figure 2-4) located on the
filter is positioned to ↓O (open).
(2) Open two bleed screws (Figure 2-4) at top of filter in the order listed below.
(a) Open left bleed screw to bleed air from tank-to-filter fuel line.
(b) Open right bleed screw to bleed air from filter to pump fuel line. It may be
necessary to squeeze line by hand to force air out of bleed screw.
(3) When fuel flows freely and evenly out of bleed screws (without air bubbles), tighten
both bleed screws.
(4) Loosen output fuel line fitting at fuel injection pump, place engine RUN lever to RUN
position, depress and hold decompression lever, and pull recoil starter rope until fuel
flows from around fuel line fitting (without air bubbles). Tighten output fuel line.
