Fuel System - Prime
SMCS - 1258-548
The Secondary Fuel Filter Has Been Replaced
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or electrical components can
cause a fire. To help prevent possible injury, turn the start switch off when changing fuel filters or water separator elements. Clean up fuel spills immediately.
NOTICE Use a suitable container to catch any fuel that might spill. Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.
NOTICE Do not allow dirt to enter the fuel system. Thoroughly clean the area around a fuel system component that will be disconnected. Fit a suitable cover over disconnected fuel system component.
Note: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel System Secondary Filter - Replace" for information on replacing the filter.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.

2. Turn priming valve (3) (If Equipped) to the "Closed (Prime)"position in order to prime the fuel system.
3. Open air purge screw (2) for the fuel filter by three full turns. Do not remove the air purge screw.
NOTICE Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine again.
4. Start the engine. The engine should start and the engine should run smoothly. If the engine does not start after 30 seconds, allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before attempting to start the engine again.
Note: You may use the fuel priming pump for the fuel filter (If Equipped) instead of starting the engine and running the engine.
5. While the engine is running, observe air purge screw (2) . When a small drop of fuel appears at

the threads of the air purge screw, close and tighten air purge screw (2) .
Note: There may be a noticeable change in the sound of the running engine when the air purge screw is tightened. The change in the sound of the engine is normal.
Note: Failure to tighten all fittings could result in serious fuel leaks.
6. Clean any residual fuel from the engine components.
7. After the engine has operated smoothly for 30 seconds, turn priming valve (3) to the Open (Run) position.
Note: Shortened injector life may occur if priming valve (3) is left in the "Closed (Prime)" position.
The Engine Has Been Run Out of Fuel
NOTICE Use a suitable container to catch any fuel that might spill. Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.
NOTICE Do not allow dirt to enter the fuel system. Thoroughly clean the area around a fuel system component that will be disconnected. Fit a suitable cover over disconnected fuel system component.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
2. Fill the fuel tank(s) with clean diesel fuel.

NOTICE Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine again.
5. Crank the engine for 30 seconds. Use a suitable container to catch the fuel while you crank the engine. Allow the starting motor to cool for 2 minutes.
Note: You may use the hand priming pump for the fuel filter (if equipped) instead of cranking the engine.
6. Crank the engine for 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for 2 minutes.

7. Repeat Step 6 until the engine starts and the engine runs.
Note: Failure to tighten all fittings could result in serious fuel leaks.
8. After the engine has operated smoothly for 30 seconds, turn priming valve (3) to the "Open (Run)" position.
Note: Shortened injector life may occur if priming valve (3) is left in the "Closed (Prime)" position.
9. Clean any residual fuel from the engine components.
The Engine Has Been Rebuilt
NOTICE Use a suitable container to catch any fuel that might spill. Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.
NOTICE Do not allow dirt to enter the fuel system. Thoroughly clean the area around a fuel system component that will be disconnected. Fit a suitable cover over disconnected fuel system component.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
2. Fill the fuel tank(s) with clean diesel fuel.

3. Turn priming valve (3) (If Equipped) to the "Closed (Prime)" position in order to prime the fuel system.
4. Open air purge screw (2) for the fuel filter by three full turns. Do not remove the air purge screw.
5. Open the fuel pressure regulating valve by three turns. The regulating valve is located in the integral fuel filter base.
Note: Do not remove the regulating valve completely. Open the valve enough to allow the air that is trapped in the cylinder head to be purged from the fuel system.
