INITIAL STARTING PROCEDURE The AirDog® is a self-priming system, however, to prevent potential damage to the system, it is recommended to fill the pre-filter with diesel fuel before initial startup. 13-1. Fill the water separator with clean diesel fuel. 13-2. Turn the starter key to the on/run position. 13-3.
FILTER SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS Plugging of either the fuel filter or the water separator itself will cause low fuel pressure and low flow to the engine. If a low fuel pressure issue exists, replace the fuel filter. Typical fuel filter life is 15-20k miles depending on fuel quality. AirDog®...
