Draining The Fuel Tank - Komatsu WB93S-5 F50003 Operation & Maintenance Manual

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
4.8.10.e DRAINING THE FUEL TANK
When draining the fuel tank, avoid spilling fuel, since this may cause fires.
q
If some fuel is accidentally spilled, clean the dirty area immediately, in order to prevent it from getting
q
slippery and to avoid fires.
Do not smoke and do not use naked flames when carrying out this operation.
q
Wear waterproof gloves and safety goggles, as fuel may be sprayed out.
q
Oils, filters, the coolant and the battery are considered special waste and must be collected and
q
disposed of according to the regulations in force.
This operation must be carried out when the fuel level on the indicator is above the reserve mark. Its
q
purpose is to let out any impurity and condensate that may have accumulated in the fuel tank, without
letting air into the engine fuel supply lines.
1 - To let the condensate flow out, loosen the drain plug (1) and
wait until no more water is present in the fuel that flows out.
IMPORTANTE
The tank must be drained before starting the engine, at
q
temperatures over 0°C; when the temperature is below 0°C,
the tank must be drained at the end of work or in any case
with the machine at a temperature of 40–45°C, in order to
prevent the condensate
temperature drops, thereby making the draining operation
impossible.
The condensate and the impurities that may have
q
accumulated inside the tank must be eliminated before
refuelling.
