Maintenance Procedures
Priming the machine
Shut off the fuel tank valves. Spin off the clear bowl, fill with
clean fuel and coat the round gasket (3) with fuel. Reinstall the
clear bowl and tighten ¼ to 1/3 turns after the gasket contacts
the upper housing. Turn on the fuel tank valves. Start the
machine and check that there are no leaks.
Draining water
Check the collection bowl daily. Drain off water
contaminants by unscrewing the clear bowl turning counter-
clockwise. Start the machine and allow air to purge from the
fuel system prior to operating the equipment.
Element replacement frequency
Frequency of element replacement is determined by
contamination level in the fuel. Replace the element every 500
hours.
Note: Foul smelling diesel fuel is an indication of
microbiological contamination. A change in fuel source is
recommended. Always carry a spare filter element as one
tank full of contaminated fuel will plug the fuel filter element
prematurely.
Element replacement procedure
1. Shut off the fuel tank valves.
2. Unscrew the clear bowl turning counter-clockwise.
3. Remove and discard the filter element.
4. Follow listed procedures under “PRIMING.”
