Section 8 Initial Startup Procedures

INITIAL START PROCEDURE

The AirDog

is a self-priming system, however, to prevent potential damage to the

system, it is recommended to fill the pre-filter with diesel fuel before initial startup.

8-1. Fill the water separator with diesel fuel.

8-2. Turn the starter key to the on/run position.

8-3. While the AirDog

is operating, bleed the air from the fuel line to the engine by

loosening the fuel line connection at the engine fitting. As soon as the line is purged of

air and pure fuel is observed, properly tighten the fuel fitting. NOTE: put a rag or shop

towel over and around fitting to prevent splatter. Catch all spilled fuel and dispose of

properly.

8-4. Start the engine!

RECHECK ALL FUEL FITTINGS FOR LEAKAGE AND PROPERLY TORQUE. BE SURE ALL FUEL LINES

ARE PROPERLY ROUTED TO PROTECT FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT AND SECURED TO PROTECT

FROM CHAFFING AND ABRASION. RECHECK ALL ELECTRICAL LINES, SECURE AS NECESSARY.

Checking Pump Noise!

NOTE: Each AirDog

has been manufactured in a Quality Controlled process and fully tested for

operation and performance before shipment. This is a smooth running system. However, if any

fuel fitting on the vacuum side, between the fuel tank and the AirDog

or the pre-filter, has

been left loose during the installation process, the system may suck air at an excessive rate and

will be very noisy. To check for this problem, unscrew the pre-filter 3 or 4 full turns and activate

the AirDog

by turning the ignition switch to on. If the AirDog

runs quietly, then excessive air

from a loose fitting or leaking pre-filter seal is most likely the reason for the excessive noise.

Correct as necessary.

A. The seal groove in the pre-filter is a snug fit and on occasion the seal has been found

to not be fully seated. Remove the pre-filter, remove the seal from the top of the nut

plate. Clean and lubricate the seal groove. Carefully replace the seal in the

groove. Be sure to fully seat the seal.

B. Check the fittings, especially the quick connect at the tank.
