Bleeding air from fuel circuit

removed and installed, bleed air from the fuel
circuit according to the following procedure.
Stop the machine on a level ground and
lower the work equipment to the ground.
Fill up fuel tank with fuel.
a Add fuel until the float of the sight gauge
reaches the maximum position.
Open the side cover of the pump room.
Loosen knob (1) of the feed pump and pull it
out, and then operate it forward and backward.
a Move the knob until it becomes heavy.
a The plug at the top of the fuel main filter
does not need to be removed.
a After bleeding air, some air may be left in
the water separator. If the feed pump is
operated until it becomes heavy, however,
the engine can be started. The remaining
air is bled naturally while the engine is run-
ning for a while. This phenomenon occurs
when the fuel in the fuel prefilter is drained
too much and does not indicate an abnor-
mality or a trouble.
After bleeding air, push in and tighten knob (1).
