Extracting air in the fuel filter If you drove until you have no fuel left
or if you replaced the fuel filter, be sureto extract air in the fuel system as it makes you difficult to start the engine.
1) Remove the air extract nozzle cap
on the fuel filter.
2) Pump up and down until the fuel flows out of the plug opening.
NOTE: Use cloths when you extract air so
that the fuel is not sprayed around. Clean the fuel around the fuel filteror the injection pump before start- ing the engine to prevent fire. Fi- nally, check each part if the fuel isleaking.
