SP5. Drain Water From Fuel Filter
IMPORTANT: When using BIODIESEL blends, monitor
water quantity more closely in the fuel filter element.
Water in the filter separator may need to be drained more
frequently.
If instrument panel provides a water in fuel warning, drain
water or debris from filter using the following steps.
1. Loosen thumb screw (A) and drain water and debris
into a suitable container. Tighten thumb screw.
2. Dispose of water and debris in an environmentally
safe manner.
SP6. Visually inspect the entire generator set
Make a thorough inspection of the engine room. Look for
oil or coolant leaks, worn drive belts, loose connections
and trash build-up. Remove trash buildup and have repairs
made as needed if leaks are found.
NOTE: Wipe all fittings, caps, and plugs before
performing any maintenance to reduce the chance of
system contamination.
Inspect:
• Engine shields and guards for trash build-up.
• Air intake system hoses and connections for cracks and
loose clamps.
• Alternator drive belt for cracks, breaks or other damage.
• Water pump for coolant leaks.
• Coolant system for leaks.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of leakage to
occur as the engine cools down and parts contract.
Excessive coolant leakage may indicate the need to
replace the water pump seal. Contact your servicing
dealer for repairs.
