CAUTION:
If metal fuel pipe is laid-out, be sure to clear away scraps or chips from the pipe
which are produced during cutting or assembling. Leaving these scraps in the pipe
may cause problem in the fuel pump.
REMOVING AIR TRAP
When operating for the first time or when refueling an empty tank, air may be trapped in the
fuel line, making ignition difficult. In this situation, follow the procedure below:
1. Press “POWER SWITCH” to “OFF” position. Disconnect
the power supply cord.
2. To catch the fuel which will drain out, put a small
container under the strainer.
3. Loosen the screw on top of the strainer. Immediately wipe
off any spilled fuel.
4. Remove the trapped air thoroughly. Failure to remove all
the air will cause improper ignition and may extinguish
the unit.
5. Tighten the screw after removing trapped air.
6. Plug into the receptacle. Press “POWER SWITCH” to
“ON” position.
Note: In the event of an ignition failure, pressPOWER
SWITCH” to “OFF” position and after 10 seconds
press “POWER SWITCH” to “ON” position once
again.
