Bleeding The Fuel System - Yanmar 3JH5E Operation Manual

BEFORE YOU OPERATE

Bleeding the Fuel System

The fuel system has an automatic air
bleeding device that purges air from the
fuel system. No manual air bleeding is
required for normal operation. Bleeding
must be done if any fuel system
maintenance has been performed
(replacement of fuel filter, etc.) or if the
engine does not start after several
attempts.
Figure 5 applies to both 4JH5E and 3JH5E.
