DRAINING WATER SEPARATING FUEL FILTER
WARNING
Be careful when draining water separating fuel filter. Diesel fuel is flammable. Be sure ignition key is
OFF. Do not allow fuel to contact any hot surfaces which may cause it to ignite. Do not allow sources
of open flame in the area. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately. Dispose of fuel soaked rags, paper,
etc. in an appropriate air tight, fire retardant container. Fuel soaked items may spontaneously ignite
and result in a fire hazard which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
NOTE: To ensure complete draining, in warm weather open the drain cap (water bleed valve) before starting
daily operations. In cold weather, where there is a possibility that the condensed water will freeze, drain the filter
shortly after the end of daily operations.
1 The filter can be drained of water and small dirt particles by opening drain cap at bottom of filter.
2 Place a small container at the end of a drain hose beneath the drain cap on the filter.
3 Open by turning the drain cap counterclockwise (as viewed from the bottom of the filter) approximately 5 turns.
4 Operate the priming pump up and down about 10 times until approximately 4 ml. (2 fl oz.) is drained. or until
fuel is clear in appearance.
5 Close drain cap by turning clockwise. Tighten securely. Fill fuel filter as previously outlined.
6 After starting the engine, check to see that there is no fuel leak from the drain cap.
IMPORTANT: If fuel filter requires frequent draining, have the fuel tank drained to remove the water.
