Caution
Always stop the engine, when working on the fuel line.
Always wipe any drip of Diesel fuel or oil. Do not use this
equipment when a leak is found. Repair the equipment before use.
Ensure that there is no fuel leakage on the fuel line after the fuel line
working finished.
Turn the 3-way valve lever to A position.
(Installed tank use position)
Disconnect the P/T 1/2 plugs from the
external fuel intake and the external fuel
return, and then connect the hoses from
the external fuel tank, as shown below.
Turn the 3-way valve lever to B position.
(External tank use position)
Extract the air out from the connected hoses.
By the above procedure, it makes possible to
use an external fuel tank.
<Caution>
Use always oil-proof hose in
8-10mm inner diameter as
connecting hose.
The fuel level in the external
fuel tank should be 0 to 3m
higher than the bottom of the
equipment. Otherwise, it may
cause engine malfunction or
stoppage.
To avoid any leak from the external fuel
intake and return ports, always turn the lever for 3-way valve to A position
whenever piping work is performed.
Use extreme caution when connecting the hoses. If the lever position is set
improper, the fuel may leak from either the built-in fuel tank or the external fuel
tank.
Set the fuel intake position 15-20mm above from the external fuel intake bottom
line, otherwise water or garbage in the tank may come into the fuel line.
In order to avoid engine malfunction due to air suction, set the fuel return at the
same level as the fuel intake level in the external tank.
