Tap extension fuel filter
A small fuel filter has been fitted to the inlet side of the fuel
tap (4), inside the tank. This tap extension fuel filter (9)
prevents any dirt in the fuel from entering the fuel system.
The procedure for removing this filter in order to replace or
clean it is given below.
Note:
the following procedure should be performed in a well
ventilated area, with no naked flames, sparks, or cigarettes.
Safety glasses should also be worn and switch (6) set to the
OFF position.
1. Completely empty the tank of fuel. Ensure the fuel tap (4)
is in the OFF position
2. Compress the two wire arms of the hose clamp on the
outlet hose at the tap (4) and slide the clamp back from
the end of the hose by approx. 25mm. Slide the fuel hose
off the outlet of the tap (4).
3. Remove the 4 screws holding the fuel tank (3) to
the generator assembly and lift the tank clear of
the generator.
4. Loosen the lock nut locking
the tap (4) on to the tank.
Unscrew the tap from the tank
