Priming If The Engine Has Run Out Of Fuel

engine running. Engine operation causes high fuel
pressure. High pressure fuel spray can cause serious

2. Turn ignition switch to the start position to engage starter for one second, return ignition switch to run
position. This will activate in tank fuel pump for ap-
proximately 15 seconds. Repeat this process twice.
3. Start the engine using the “Normal Starting” procedure. Refer to “Starting Procedures” in “Starting and Operat-
ing” for further information.
CAUTION!

seconds at a time. Allow two minutes between the
cranking intervals.

from all the fuel lines.
WARNING!
Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent.
They can be unstable under certain conditions and be
hazardous or explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.
CAUTION!
Due to lack of lubricants in alcohol or gasoline, the use
of these fuels can cause damage to the fuel system.
