Cleaning the Sediment Trap

The sediment trap removes contaminants (moisture and
fine particles) from gaseous fuels before they enter the
fuel regulator. Accumulated moisture and particles must
be emptied from the sediment trap per local codes and
guidelines.
Proceed as follows to clean the sediment trap:
1. Remove intake side panel (see
Removal).
2. Turn the generator fuel supply OFF.
3. See Figure 4-9. Unscrew and remove cap (A).
