OPERATION AND SERVICE
It is recommended that the vent and drain valves be opened on a scheduled basis to permit the escape of
entrapped air and accumulated water.
Since there are no moving parts, maintenance is limited to an occasional rinsing of the cartridge using
light fuel oil or detergent. This should be done in accordance with filter changes especially in heavy fuel
oil.
The head gasket should be carefully inspected for signs of damage or deterioration each time the housing
is opened. We recommend the gasket to be lubricated with petroleum jelly prior to installation.
Catalyst unit has no moving parts, no additives, no magnets, no electrical hook-ups, and is maintenance
free whenever used in applications for light fuel oil lasting for years after initial installation.
NOTE:
Whenever there is an application for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) or any other similar fuel type, please go to page
10 for catalyst maintenance instructions as per section ‘Core Cleaning Procedures’, and follow to page 11,
section ‘Core Cleaning Plan’.
