Commissioning
It is the
installer’s responsibility to ensure that correct installation procedures have been adhered to. Before testing the
integrity of the Hydrau-Flo
®
Fuel Filling System, ensure that all components have been correctly installed. Incorrect
installation on the cli
ent’s behalf may impact the functionality and the integrity as well as the performance of the
system. Failure to install components correctly may lead to overfilling and ignition.
Once installation has been completed and all safety checks have been undertaken, the following commissioning
pressure is to be undertaken to test the integrity of the Hydrau-Flo
®
Fuel Filling System before field use:
Make sure all components are properly fitted and sealed appropriately.
Check if there are leaks in the Filling Valve, Float Valve and other connections etc.
Check the integrity of pilot line (check for correct pilot line size and correct length). Pilot line size has a
requirement for 3/8” or ½” size hose. Increase in pilot line size increases their rated capacity to avoid failure
and reduced shut-off effectiveness.
Check Valves must be correctly installed so the fuel flows in the correct direction.
Synchronise the fuel filling gun and receiver spring settings after installation. Change the spring in the receiver
as required.
Make sure that the fuel station pump characteristics are compliant with the rated flow capacities of the Hydrau-
Flo® system.
Test the system by connecting the filling gun and
attempting to “top off the tank” to ensure the system will not
overfill and spill fuel.
Adjust float level to position/height required.
CAUTION
Always have appropriate fire fighting equipment on hand while undertaking
servicing and filling operations.
NOTICE
Refer to the Troubleshooting guide in this manual for further information if there are any issues
upon commissioning.
