1. PRIMING THE MACHINE
Shut off the fuel tank valves. Spin off the element, fill with clean
fuel and coat the square gasket (3) with fuel. Reinstall the
element and tighten 1/4 to 1/3 turns after the gasket contacts
the upper housing. Turn on the fuel tank valves. Start the
machine and check that there are no leaks.
2.
DRAINING WATER
Check the collection bowl daily. Drain off water contaminants
by opening the head vent and then the drain. If more than 1/8
cup of fluid is drained, follow the priming instructions,
otherwise, close the vent and drain. Start the machine and allow
air to purge from the fuel system prior to operating the
equipment.
3. ELEMENT REPLACEMENT FREQUENCY
Frequency of element replacement is determined by con-
tamination level in the fuel. Replace the element upon power
loss of the engine (if so equipped) or every 500 hours
whichever comes first.
NOTE: Foul smelling diesel fuel is an indication of microbio-
logical contamination. A change in fuel source is recommended.
Always carry a spare element as one tank full of contaminated
fuel will plug the fuel filter element prematurely.
4. ELEMENT REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
1. Shut off the fuel tank valves.
2. Unscrew the amber bowl from the fuel filter.
3. Unscrew and discard the filter from the upper housing.
4. Follow listed procedures under “PRIMING”.
