Day Tank Operation
WARNING
Flammable Fluids!
Failure to follow the safety requirements in this section
could result in death or serious personal injury, as well
as property damage due to fire or explosion. Diesel fuel
is flammable and poses a fire hazard. Do not expose the
fuel to excessive heat, pressure, or open flames or
sparks.
WARNING
Safety Requirements!
Failure to follow the safety guidelines in this section
could result in death or serious personal injury.
•
Use only for the transport of diesel fuel for refueling
equipment or standby generators.
•
Keep the tank level when filling.
•
Fill only with a hand-held trigger nozzle. Take special
care not to spill any fuel on the ground or in the
interstice.
•
Do not smoke when refueling. Keep sparks flames and
hot material away from fuel and tank.
•
Do not overfill; 95 percent is the maximum legal limit.
•
Always replace filler cap and turn pump off (lever
down) when refueling finished.
•
Close all valve outlets and lock lid when transporting
on a public highway.
•
Check for fluid in outer tank and empty regularly. Refer
to maintenance manual for detailed procedure.
•
Day tank can only be utilized as a "stand-alone" fuel
supply without using the generator's on-board fuel
tank or can be used to "manually refuel" the generator
fuel tank.
If Day Tank is used for manual refueling:
1. The day tank hand pump will have to be utilized for
refueling the generator's on-board fuel tank.
2. Place fuel tank in a place where it can be leveled as
much as possible.
3. Unlock and open hatch lid.
4. Pull out refueling hose and nozzle, see
5. Extend it to the tank to be refueled.

6. Connect the quick coupler on the pump discharge.
7. Open fuel feed line/valve on fuel tank.
8. Connect a power supply to the pump (minimum 20
amp rating).
9. Turn the pump on by lifting lever located on the side of
the pump.
10. Use the hand-held nozzle to transfer the fuel.
11. Fill to no more than 95 percent of capacity. This is the
maximum allowed in order to account for fuel
expansion. Do not overfill.
12. Turn the pump off when the refueling is completed.
If Day Tank is used as stand-alone constant
fuel supply:
The day tank will require a 12 Vdc generator battery power
supply for tank's on-board pump if being utilized for
"stand-alone" operation. Do not generator on-board tank
if day tank is utilized for stand-alone operation.
Supply
1. Place fuel tank in a place where it is level.
2. Connect the quick-coupler (see
on fuel tank.
3. Extend as much hose as required.
4. Connect swivel-type coupling (see
generator supply connection.
5. Screw the quick-coupler with threaded end hose (see
Figure
6. Bleed air from system.
Return
1. Connect the quick-coupler into the return line on the
fuel tank.
2. Extend as much hose as required.
3. Connect swivel-type coupling into generator return
connection.
4. Screw in the quick-coupler with threaded end hose
