Priming Fuel System - Toro Reelmaster 4500–D Service Manual

Priming Fuel System

IMPORTANT: The fuel system must be primed when
a new engine is started for the first time, if it runs out
of fuel or if maintenance is performed on the fuel
system.
1. Raise engine cover.
2. Loosen fuel filter bleed plug one turn. Using a shop
towel to absorb fuel, push priming plunger until a steady
stream of fuel runs out of hole in plug. When fuel stops
foaming, tighten plug during the downstroke of the prim-
ing plunger. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
Note: It may be necessary to bleed the air out of the
fuel line between the fuel filter and the injection
pump. To do this, loosen the fitting on the injection
and repeat bleeding procedure.
3. Normally the engine will now start. If engine does not
start, loosen each injector fitting at the engine and crank
engine until steady stream of fuel runs out of fitting.
Tighten fitting when foaming of fuels stops.
