PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The STS-6000 Automatic Fuel Filtration System should be visually inspected and tested a minimum of
every six months according to the procedure below during light duty cycles. Monthly inspections are
recommended for systems that are being used in excess of an average of 8 hours day and five days a week
.
o
Prior to performing the maintenance procedure ensure that:
o
The electrical sub-panel mounted main disconnect switch is operating properly,
o
the user supplied remote circuit breaker is in the “Off” position, and
o
that all sources of power are isolated from the unit.
o
Proceed only after this has been verified and properly tagged.
o
Drain visible water and sediment from primary filter / coalescer (see Servicing Primary Filter /
coalescer below).
o
Check enclosure and all parts for corrosion and rust.
o
Check locking latches, door and hinge operation.
o
Check cabinet mounting hardware. Tighten as necessary.
o
Check pump/motor hardware for tightness. Pump/motor hardware will loosen after normal
operation due to vibration. This hardware is lock nutted, check all bolts for secure nuts.
o
Check all electrical terminals and connections for tightness.
o
Check all plumbing joints for leaks. Tighten fittings and joints as necessary. Remove
accumulated fuel in drip tray as necessary.
o
Inspect all filters and separators. See section below on filter inspection and service.
Note: If any of the above described alarm test procedures fail or if any alarm trip value
deviates immediately contact AXI International.
Note: All filter elements should be replaced at least every six months.
