Priming The Fuel System - Ferris 5900799 Operator's Manual

Operation

Priming the Fuel System

Priming the fuel system removes any air bubbles from
the fuel system.
WARNING
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or
electrical components can cause a fire. To
help prevent possible injury, turn the ignition
switch off when changing fuel filter or water
separator element. Clean up fuel spills
immediately.
The fuel system would only need to be primed under
the following conditions:
• Before starting the engine for the first time.
• After running the machine out of fuel and fresh fuel
has been added to the fuel tanks.
• After performing maintenance on the fuel system,
such as changing the fuel filter or replacing a fuel
system component.
To prime the fuel system:
1. Make sure that there is fuel in the fuel tanks and
that both fuel tank shut off valves (A, Figure 2) are
open.
2. Turn the key to the ON position (not the start
position) for 10 to 15 seconds. The electric fuel
pump feeds fuel to the system.
