8.10.5 Generator water & fuel separator filter
Water drainage from collecting tank
The frequency of water drainage or of filtering element (1) replacement is
determined by fuel contamination level.
Check or drain the water collecting tank (2) daily.
The collecting cup must be drained before polluting elements reach the
engine.
− In order to eliminate the polluting elements place a big recovery tank
there below.
− Remove the cover (3) and fill the device with clean fuel.
− Close the cover and tighten T-handle (4) firmly by hand.
Replacement of the filtering element
Replace the element according to the intervals suggested by
manufacturer or in case of power losses; a power loss indicates that the
element is restricted. Also other extra elements, such as a full tank or
excessively contaminated fuel may obstruct the filter.
− Close the valve.
− Remove the cover.
− Remove the element by holding the handle and pulling lightly forward
with a twist movement.
− Replace the cover seal with the seal pertaining to the new element.
Apply a layer of clean fuel or engine oil on the seal before
reinstallation, fit the new element with a slow twist movement
downwards.
− Fill the device with clean fuel, then replace the cover.
− Tighten T-handle by hand and reopen by hand.
− Start the engine and check for leaks. If necessary, remedy with the
engine off.
