REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER
Clean the fuel line with a rag and clamp it off between the fuel tank and the fuel filter.
Pull off the inlet and outlet lines from the filter. Make sure dirt does not enter the fuel lines. Discard the used filter.
Install the new filter, making sure the flow arrow on the filter housing in pointed in the proper direction. Push the fuel lines
as far as possible onto the connection nipples of the new filter.
After installing the new filter, bleed the air from the fuel lines using the manual fuel primer
FUEL SUPPLY LINE
Refer to FUEL LINES in the INSTALLATION section of this manual for information about the fuel supply.
WARNING
:
shut off the fuel valve at the tank when
servicing the fuel system. Take care in catching
any fuel that may spill. DO NOT allow any
smoking, open flames or other sources of fire
near the fuel system when servicing. Ensure
proper ventilation exist when servicing the fuel
system.
FUEL FILTER OF THE WATER-SEPARATING TYPE
We recommends that you install and regularly service a good quality R.I.Na. approved visual-type primary fuel filter of the
water-separating type. This fuel filter/water separator must be installed between the fuel tank and the engine to prevent any
contaminants or water that may be in the fuel from reaching the fuel lift pump and causing damage to the fuel system
components. It may also prolong the life of the fuel filter that comes installed on the fuel line. It is the responsibility of the
owner/operator to install this fuel filter/water separator. It must be located outside the sound-shield.
Most installers include a fuel filter/water separator with the installation package as they aware of the problems
contaminants in the fuel can cause.
Keep in mind that if a water separator type filter is not installed between the fuel supply tank and the engine-mounted fuel
system, any water in the fuel will affect fuel pump, engine filter and injection equipment. The owner/operator is responsible
for making certain the fuel reaching the engine’s injection equipment is free of impurities. This process is accomplished by
installing and maintaining a proper fuel filter/water separator.
FUEL INJECTION PUMPS
The fuel injection pumps are very important component of the diesel engine, requiring the utmost care in handling. The fuel
injection pumps have been thoroughly bench-tested and the owner-operator is cautioned not to attempt to service them. If
it requires servicing refer to an authorized fuel injection pump service facility. Do not attempt to disassemble and repair
them.
FUEL SHUT OFF SOLENOID
The fuel shut off solenoid is deactivated when the STOP button on the control panel is pushed. This will stop the fuel flow
and shut down the engine; the fuel solenoid indicator on the control panel will go out. This shut off solenoid is factory-set
and will not require adjustment. The fuel shutoff solenoid has a small lever that must be always in the up direction. In the
low position, the solenoid valve remains always open, so it is not electrically connected, and, in case of failure due to
overheating and/or low oil pressure, the remote control panel cannot stop the engine.
BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel circuit is self-bleeding; any air in the fuel lines will bleed out through the fuel return line. Bleeding can also be done
by using the manual fuel primer on the fuel lift pump. In case the generator is shut down due to lack of fuel, use the manual
fuel primer to bleed the system after refilling the fuel tank; it will not be necessary to disconnect the fuel lines to bleed the
air. Also use the manual fuel primer to bleed the system after changing the fuel filters.
Bleeding the fuel system will also be necessary before the generator is laved-up during the off-season or for prolonged
periods of inactivity.
To use the manual fuel primer, work the lever down.
SPARE PARTS
While the likelihood of having to service the system at sea is slim, the possibility does exist. Therefore, we recommend that
banjo washers, injector seat washers and a fuel filter be carried on board at all times. Purchase needed spare parts from your
