IMPORTANT:
Use #2 diesel fuel only. Never use unleaded gasoline.
• Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.
Step 4- Bleed the Fuel line
When adding diesel fuel for the fi rst time or after the fuel tank has been emptied or drained, air can
get trapped in the fuel line between the fuel tank and the engine. After adding fuel, you must bleed
the fuel line of this trapped air. To bleed the fuel line:
l. Turn the fuel valve to the "off' position. Loosen the clamp that holds the fuel line to the
engine (See figure 5). Detach the fuel line from the engine. Place the end of the
detached fuel line over a bucket to catch fuel as it runs out.
2. Tum the fuel valve to the "on" position.
3. When fuel starts running out of the fuel line in a steady stream, reattach the fuel line to the
engine. NOTE: Do not close the fuel valve until you have reattached the fuel line.
4. A fter reattaching the fuel line to the engine, tum the fuel valve to the off position until you
are ready to start the generator.
