Fuel Water SeparatorFuel Water Separator
If water gets into the fuel system, it settles into the water
separator. (Figure 5-8) When the water level reaches
a certain level, an error code will appear on the PV380
digital display. It is important to drain it immediately.
If you run out of fuel, it is important
to pump the water separator to prime fuel injection
lines. Failure to do so can adversely affect
performance.
To drain the water separator:
1. Pull retainer clip from plug to disconnect the
harness.
2. Unplug the harness, then unscrew the plug.
3. Drain and reinsert components.

The electrical system is powered by a 12-volt,negative-
ground, maintenance-free battery located in its own
compartment on the side of the cab. The master battery
On/Off switch is also located in this compartment.

NOTE: The electrical system is a negative-ground
system. Connect the positive (+) cable to
the positive (+) post of the battery. Connect
the ground cable to the negative (-) post of
the battery. It is advisable to disconnect the
negative (-) cable rst and reconnect it last.
Reversed polarity can damage the electrical
system.
Clean terminals and battery posts thoroughly and check
that battery cable terminals are tight. Dirty or loose
connections can create high electrical resistance and
permit arcing, which will quickly burn and pit terminals
and posts.
Keep the battery clean by washing it off whenever dirt
buildup is excessive. If corrosion is present around
terminal connections, remove them and wash with
ammonia solution or a solution consisting of 1/4 lb. (11 kg)
baking soda added to one quart of warm water. Make
certain the vent caps are tight to prevent solution from
entering the cells. After cleaning, pour clean water over
the battery and surrounding area to wash the solution
away. Check vent cap breather openings to make sure
they are open.
