Priming the Fuel System
The fuel system needs to be primed before starting the
engine for the first time, after running out of fuel or after
fuel system maintenance (e.g. draining the filter/water
separator , replacing a fuel hose). To prime the fuel sys-
tem, makesurethat thefuel tankhas fuel init. Then, turn
the ignition key to the RUN position for ten (10) to fifteen
(15) seconds which allows the fuel pump to prime the
fuel system. DO NOT use the engine starter motor to
crank the engine in order to prime the fuel system.
