Oil Pump Priming
This priming procedure must be
performed whenever the oil hose
connection between the oil tank
and pump i nlet has been
disconnected.

between the end of the oil
tank vent fitting and the vent
line’s pressure relief slit (3).
2. Run the engine for 10-20
seconds.
3. Remove the vent line clamp.
If the line is bled properly,
you should hear a rush of air,
indicating t hat the line is

air, the line has not bled, and
you’ll need to repeat the
priming procedure.
