FIRST TIME START UP
Before starting the PT-3000:
Check oil level in the Engine
Check coolant level
Make sure all electrical connections are complete

Purge all air from fuel system (See Below)
Check that Air Conditioner / Heater and all AC loads are Turned OFF.
IMPORTANT: Purging Air from Fuel System
Before starting the PT-3000 for the first time it is important to purge the fuel
system of all air trapped in the fuel lines. To do this disconnect the Positive + terminal of
the electric fuel pump from the wiring harness and jumper it to a +12V DC source
(Positive + Battery post on starter). The pump will begin pumping fuel and force any
trapped air out through the return line. Continue pumping fuel through the system for 1
minute. Disconnect the jumper wire and reconnect the Positive + terminal of the fuel
pump to the wiring harness. The PT-3000 is now ready to start.
Turn the main power switch located on the control panel inside the APU to the
ON position. Inside the truck, turn the driver’s control switch to the ON position. The
APU will begin the pre-heat and engine cranking cycle.
WARNING: Be careful of moving parts!!!
