Priming the Heater Fuel Pump (Heat Option)
I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : It is important the heater fuel pump be primed before attempting to operate the heater for the first time.
Failure to prime the pump will cause the unit to shutdown, set diagnostic codes and cause damage to the
fuel pump.

N N o o t t e e : : Verify there is a sufficient amount of fuel in the fuel tank before beginning the priming procedures.
The heater uses a pulse style fuel pump. You must use the heater priming harness to operate the fuel pump to prime
the system. Applying continuous power to the pump will not work
