TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING AFTER RUNNING OUT OF FUEL WARNING When air bleed plug (1) at the top of the fuel filter head or supply pump air breather (5) are removed, the system is still under pressure, so fuel may spurt out. Loosen these parts slowly before opening them. When starting after running out of fuel, fill the filter cartridge with fuel and bleed the air from the fuel system before starting.
PROCEDURE FOR BLEEDING AIR 1.
Remove the fuel filter cartridge, fill the filter case with fuel, then install again.
NOTICE ● The common rail fuel injection system used on this machine consists of more precise parts than the conventional injection pump and nozzle, so problems may be caused by dust or dirt getting in. When carrying out inspection or maintenance of the fuel system, pay more attention than normal to the entry of dirt. If dirt is stuck to any part, use fuel to wash it off completely. ●
If no clean fuel is available, bleed the air with priming pump (3) without removing the fuel cartridge.
●
When filling with fuel, use clean fuel and be careful not to let any dust or dirt get in. Portion (B) at the center is the clean side, so be particularly careful not to let any dust or dirt get in.
●
When adding fuel, always add from small hole (A) at eight places on the dirty side.
2.
Loosen air bleed plug (1) at the top of the fuel filter head.
3.
Push in the fuel cut knob (2) installed at the side of the steps on the left side of the machine to set so that fuel is supplied. After pushing it in, fit wire lock (3) to fuel cut knob (2) to lock fuel cut knob (2) and prevent it from moving.
