8 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
■ Water Separator - Drain Water
When draining water from the water
separator, always use a container
which is suitable for the water
quantity.
* Otherwise, the drained water will overflow from
the container and may run to outside of the
facility.
* The water drained into the container is
contaminated with waste oil. Discard the water
in accordance with the local laws and
regulations as well as the manufacturer's SDS.
Drain water properly from the water
separator.
* If draining the water separator is insufficient,
water may enter into the fuel system, which
could cause damage to the devices.
Drain water from the water separator.
■ Water Separator Element - Replace
Open the inlet valve of the water
separator slowly to prevent fuel in the
water separator from spilling out.
Wrap a cloth around the water
separator.
* Otherwise, spilled fuel may be ignited, which
could cause a fire.
Tighten the cover and cock on the
water separator appropriately.
* If the tightening torque is too weak, fuel may
leak, causing a fire or fuel flow-out, which could
lead to environmental pollution.
Replace the water separator
1
element.
After the new fuel filter element is
