Nope, it bypasses to the fuel tank return circuit. BobCat manuals are not correct in this instruction.

What series is your Toolcat?

Mine is series F, haven't run out of fuel, never used the primer bulb, visible at the top in this picture.

you have to follow the line from the bulb under the drivers seat (no need to remove if you stoop down and use a flashlight). It is a small knob that looks more like a dial. Do not expect bubbles or fuel as the manual is bogus on this statement. There is a somewhat clear photo in both the operators and service manuals.

Not sure what this is a picture of. It looks like a Kubota engine but the layout is not like any TC I have ever seen.

That is why I asked what series you have?

It is a picture of my 2012, 5610 series F. It is under the passenger seat, here is the the view from the back.

/\ That is the muffler. /\

And the Toolcat moving dirt to fill a low spot.

I GUESS I HAVE AN ANTIQUE TOOLCAT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE WAS A SERIES IN 2006. ONLY OPTIONS ON THE SINGLE CHASSIS/BODY STYLE. I'm GUESSING THE MECHANICAL LAYOUT IS QUITE DIFFERENT IN SUBSEQUENT VARIANT SERIES. BTW YOU HAVE A VERY USEFUL LOOKING IMPLEMENT.

... AND IT APPEARS YOU HAVE A 5610, NOT A 5600

The Toolcat 5600 Series A started production in 2002, according to: Bobcat Historical Specifications - Bobcat Company
