BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
Bleeding procedure -- Figs. 68 and 69
During long periods when the tractor is not used,
when the filter and fuel lines are removed or when
there is no fuel in the tractor, air may enter the fuel
system.
The presence of air makes it difficult to start the
engine and it therefore needs to be bled as follows
when the fuel tank is refilled:
1. Unscrew the bleed plug
(1) fig. 68
by
approximately two turns.
68
2. Actuate lever (1) fig. 69 until fuel without air
bubbles spurts from the bleed hole.
3. Tighten plug (1) fig. 68.
4. After tightening the bleed plug (1) fig. 68, actuate
lever (1) fig 69 a few times.
5. Turn the ignition key to position C, as shown in
Section 2, fig.
18, page 2--11. As soon as the
engine starts, release the key.

NOTE: Your engine is fitted with a rotary injection
pump, whose internal components must be
protected from rusting if not used for over a month.
