Repriming the fuel circuit
After filling when the fuel has com- pletely run out, it is necessary to bleed the air or drain the circuit before starting your vehicle.
The peripheral components (alter- nator, starter, engine mountings, etc.) should be protected against splashes of fuel.
When carrying out opera- tions near the engine, re- member it may be hot. The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Repriming
Work bulb 1 until the fuel runs into
pipe 2.
