I ran out of oil, I filled the tank but it will not start. I even tryed the reset switch. I know I have to bleed it now. Where do I do this?

there is a plug--maybe 3/8 or 7/16.Wear a pair of safety glasses,get some cat litter or a small can.Loosen the plug just a little,start burner,loosen plug so that fuel comes out.If burner shuts down tighten plug.Wait a minute or so.Start burner,loosen plug to bleed again.If burner stays running make sure plug is tight.PDF
