MAINTENANCE TASK. FUEL LEVEL INSPECTION
Periodically, it is necessary to check the fuel level to assure the operation of the genset. On top
of that, if fuel pump sucks air when the fuel level is lower than pump suction, it could break.
Whenever possible, keep the fuel tank full. The temperature changes may cause condensation
of the damp air present in the tank and this water accumulates at the bottom. It can cause an increase
of corrosion or an impossibility of starting the genset if this water is aspired by the fuel pump.
MAINTENANCE TASK. FUEL TANK CLEAN
The fuel impurities could obstruct the suction pump. For this reason, drain out the content of
the fuel tank to remove condensate and any foreign material. Then, wash the tank with fuel and refill it.
MAINTENANCE TASK. FUEL FILTER CHANGE
Procedure to change the fuel filter:
1.
Remove fuel filter with a belt
wrench.
2. Place a new fuel filter and
firmly tighten it with the hand.
3. Prime the system.
4. When this operation is
finished, start the genset and
check that it is not leaking.

NOTICE
Wash hands after any contact with diesel fuel.
MAINTENANCE TASK. WATER SEPARATOR FILTER PURGUE
The fuel system has to have a water separator filter (supplied as
accessory) to avoid the inlet of water in the fuel circuit. According to the
maintenance plan it is necessary to purge the filter to eliminate water
periodically. This is the procedure:
1. Loosen the bottom nut to eliminate water.
2. Shut it off again.
3.
Check for any leakage.

MAINTENANCE TASK. INJECTION PUMP INSPECTION
The injection pump is adjusted at factory and should never be adjusted carelessly. Such
adjustment, whenever is required, shall be made by a SOLÉ DIESEL licensed service shop, since a
precision pump monitor and skill knowledge are required.
