3. Loosen the union (2).
Note: Do not remove the union completely. Open the
union enough to allow the air that is trapped to be
purged from the fuel system.
4. Unlock the hand priming pump (1). Operate the
hand priming pump until fuel free from air flows
from the union.
5. Tighten the union securely.
6. Operate the hand priming pump until a strong
pressure is felt on the pump. Push the priming
pump plunger inward and tighten the plunger by
hand. Remove the container and clean any split
fuel.
7. Start the engine.
NOTICE
Do not crank the engine continuously for more than
30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for 30
seconds before cranking the engine again.
8. If the engine will not start, allow the starting motor
to cool for 30 seconds. Repeat steps 3 to 6 in
order to eliminate air from the fuel system.
9. Continue to eliminate air from the fuel system if
these events occur:
•
The engine starts, but the engine does not run
evenly.
• The engine starts, but the engine continues to
misfire or smoke.
10. Run the engine with no load until the engine runs
smoothly.
Fuel System Primary
Filter/Water Separator - Drain
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or elec-
trical components can cause a fire. To help pre-
vent possible injury, turn the start switch off when
changing fuel filters or water separator elements.
Clean up fuel spills immediately.

The water separator is not a filter. The water separa-
tor separates water from the fuel. The engine should
never be allowed to run with the water separator more
than half full. Engine damage may result.
The water separator is under suction during normal
engine operation. Ensure that the drain valve is tight-
ened securely to help prevent air from entering the fuel
system.
