Product Overview
The hand primer is used to fill filters and purge air from the low-pressure fuel circuit after maintenance or a loss of prime. When its check valves or seals wear, the primer may never become firm, may leak fuel or may allow air to return to the system.
Caterpillar used several primer assemblies across the 213B/320/322/330 families, so the original pump, mounting and port layout should be matched before ordering rather than relying on excavator model alone.

Q: What should I match before ordering?
