Section 20Fuel System700 SeriesOperation:To eliminate air from fuel systemRecommended torque:Engine type Nm lbf ft kgf m-Special notes:20.09Cautions: Damage can occur to the electrical components e.g. the electricalstop solenoid and the starter motor if they are energized for too long. Thiscan occur when starting the engine and especially when air is to beeliminated from the system.The correct procedure to eliminate air from the fuel system is to only use thestarter motor to start the engine after air has been eliminated from thelow-pressure side of the fuel system.Note: If air enters the fuel system, it must be eliminated before the enginecan be started.VENT PLUGPRIMING LEVER1 Loosen the vent plug on the side of the fuel injection pump.2 Operate the priming lever until fuel, free from air, comes from the vent point. Tighten the vent plug.3 Turn the start key to the "ON" position.4 Operate the starter motor for intervals of 15 seconds until the engine starts. It is important to allow the electrical components tocool for 30 seconds between each 15 second interval of operation.If the engine runs correctly for a short time and then stops or runs roughly, check for air in the fuel system.05/99Printed in England© Propriety information of Perkins Engines Company Limited, all rights reserved120494 51-19M-1-SM 01-29-02 57.4400.0100
