Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Use the following procedure in order to prime the fuel system:If air enters the fuel system, the air must be purged from the fuel system before the engine can be started. Air can enter the fuel system when the following events occur:
The fuel tank is empty or the fuel tank has been partially drained.
The low pressure fuel lines are disconnected.
A leak exists in the low pressure fuel system.
The fuel filter is replaced.

Primary filter
Ensure that the air is removed from the primary filter before you prime the fuel filters. Refer to illustration 1.

There are three types of fuel filter that may be installed on the engine.
Element
Canister
Spin-on filter with fuel priming pump

Spin-on filter with fuel priming pump
(5) Vent screw Vent screw (3) is installed on the filter that has an element. Vent screw (4) is installed on the fuel filter that has a canister. Vent screw (5) is installed on the spin-on filter.Priming the system
Ensure that the air is removed from the primary filter. Loosen vent screws (1). Refer to illustration 1. Operate the priming pump. When fuel free from air flows from the vent screw tighten the vent screw. Note: Some fuel system will use gravity in order to prime the primary fuel filter. If gravity is used ensure that the fuel tank is full and that all stop valves in the fuel line are open.There is four different types of systems that can be installed on the engine in order to prime the fuel system. Refer to illustration 5.
Hand priming pump
In-line hand priming pump
Electrical priming pump
Transfer pump that is operated by the starting motor

In order to identify the hand priming pump, refer to illustration 5.
Ensure that fuel valve (2) for the fuel filter that has an element is in the ON position. Refer to illustration 2.
Loosen vent screw (3 4 or 5) on the fuel filter.
Operate hand priming pump (6). When fuel free from air flows from the vent screw tighten the vent screw.
Loosen connection (10 or 12) at the fuel injection pump. Refer to illustration 6. Note: Fuel return line (11) may need to be removed in order to prime the fuel
