MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
(Right side)
3. Turn electric priming pump switch (3) to the ON position
(A). Lamp (4) flashes and the electric priming pump starts.
Release electric priming pump switch (3). Switch (3) will
return automatically to the original position (N).
REMARK
While lamp (4) is flashing, the electric priming pump is actuated
for 30 seconds and then stops for 10 seconds. This action is
repeated until lamp (4) goes out.
If this switch is turned to the OFF position (B) when the lamp is
flashing, the lamp will go out and the electric priming pump will
stop.
When the lamp is flashing, the electric priming pump will stop,
but this does not indicate any abnormality.
4. When the specified time (approx. 7 minutes) has passed, lamp (4) automatically goes out and the electric
priming pump stops.
5. The electric priming pump automatically stops working (the monitor lamp goes off), when the fuel circuit is
emptied of fuel as in the instance that the engine stops due to fuel exhaustion, or in the instance that the fuel
hose, tube or priming pump has been maintained or replaced.
In that case, tilt the electric priming pump switch back to the ON position (A) so as to allow the pump to work
again.
6. When the lamp (4) goes out, the air bleed operation is completed.
7. Shut off the air bleeding valves on both right and left banks.
8. Start the engine.
If the engine does not start, the probable reason is that the air has not been completely bled.
Do as follows, then start the engine again.
1) Check that the air bleed valve is closed.
2) Turn electric priming pump switch (3) ON position (A).
3) Try to start the engine while the electric priming pump is in operation. If the engine still does not start, wait for
approx. 2 minutes, and then repeat steps 2) and 3).
4) After the engine has started, run the engine for approx. 5 minutes to bleed air from the fuel system com-
pletely.
NOTICE
Do not keep the starting motor rotating continuously for more than 20 seconds.
If the engine will not start, wait for at least 2 minutes before trying to start the engine again.
