Maintenance Procedures
Priming the machine
Shut off the fuel tank valves. Spin off the clear bowl, ll with clean fuel and coat the round gasket (3)
with fuel. Reinstall the clear bowl and tighten ¼ 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.
Draining water
Check the collection bowl daily. Drain off water contaminants by unscrewing the clear bowl turning
counter-clockwise. Start the machine and allow air to purge from the fuel system prior to operating the
equipment.
Element replacement frequency
Frequency of element replacement is determined by contamination level in the fuel. Replace the
element every 500 hours.
Note: Foul smelling diesel fuel is an indication of microbiological contamination. A change in fuel source
is recommended. Always carry a spare lter element as one tank full of contaminated fuel will plug the
fuel lter element prematurely.
Element replacement procedure
1. Shut off the fuel tank valves.
2. Unscrew the clear bowl turning counter-clockwise.
3. Remove and discard the lter element.
4. Follow listed procedures under “PRIMING.”
