! IMPORTANT ! It is recommended that only qualified, experienced personnel, familiar with this equipment,
who have read and understood all the instructions in this manual should install, operate and maintain the
system.
! IMPORTANT ! Always disconnect the system from the electric power supply before working or servicing
it. Do not proceed with any maintenance unless the pressure or vacuum has been released, the system has
been allowed to reach ambient temperature and all fluids have been drained.
Draining and Storing the System
1.
Before releasing the quick disconnect couplings, allow all fuel to flow out of the hoses by draining the system or take the
suction hose out of the tank while the pump is still running and wait till system is purged and empty.
2. Place an appropriate container under each drain valve. Open both the valve on the separator and the valve under the
pump. Use the air purge valve on top of the separator to make sure all of the fluid can be drained from the system.
Opening the valves and the air purge valve will allow fuel to flow down and out of both hoses into the tank.
Pump Strainer/Wye-Strainer
Check the Wye-Strainer (MTC-500) frequently for debris and clean as necessary.
Fuel/Oil Separator/Coalescer
The separator is a closed dynamic separator/coalescer that does not require any consumables. When draining water and
sludge from the separator:
1. Place an appropriate container under the drain valve
2. Remove the top plug
to allow air in and fuel to flow out
3. Open the drain valve and close when observing clean fuel
The Separator needs to be serviced and flushed from time to time.
Pump
Check pump for leaks, worn vanes and if bypass valve operates correctly. We highly recommend carrying a spare pump.
The MTC pump can be easily changed in a matter of minutes by opening the unions and/or short hose connections. Spare
part kits are also available for all MTC pumps. Keep the pump lubricated and pour some oil into pump head for storage.
LG-X Fuel Conditioner
Particles and rust can collect inside the LG-X unit and over time cause a flow restriction and/or diminish its effectiveness.
Open the lid of the LG-X Fuel Conditioner by unscrewing the lid screws and clean the magnet and fuel chamber. Inspect
O-rings prior to reassembly.
Suction and Discharge Hoses
We recommend replacing the suction hose every year and the discharge hose every two years. Heavy use, visual
deterioration, damage or poor condition and excessive wear can require an even earlier change.
