Fuel Piping Switch (3Way Fuel Valve) - Shindaiwa DGK60D Owner's Manual

Refer to section "10. Inspection/Maintenance (8) Flushing Liquid in Spill Containment"
for flushing procedures. The generator is equipped with the following in order to prevent liquid
from spilling in case you forget to flush the liquid: The operation panel is equipped with an
indicator that lights up when its sensor is triggered as the spill containment capacity
accumulated enough liquid to reach the 1/4 full (approx. 10 gal.) level.
< NOTE >
 Water can also accumulate in the spill containment due to rain entering into the generator.
Accordingly, you should periodically flush liquid accumulated within the generator. However, you
should flush water according to the frequency/amount of rainfall.
 The types of liquids that can accumulate in the spill containment include oil, fuel, coolant and
battery fluid such that it is not possible to distinguish between rainwater and other liquids. Dispose
of flushed liquids according to the applicable laws and regulations.

CAUTION:
 Always make sure that the engine is stopped when working on piping.
 Always be sure to wipe up any spilled fuel.
 After working on the piping, check that there is no fuel leakage.
Change the three-way fuel valve to switch to supply fuel from the external tank. In that case,
the internal fuel tank is not used.
(1) If using the internal fuel tank
Change the lever of the three-way fuel valve is turned to the "A" side to supply fuel from
the internal tank. It is turned to the "A" side when the generator is shipped from the
factory.
< NOTE >
 When disconnecting piping from the external tank, turn the lever to the "A" side, and attach the
bundled plug (R1/2")to the external tank fuel inlet/return.
(2) If using an external fuel tank
Connect hoses from the external fuel tank to the external fuel inlet and the external fuel
return. Change the lever of the 3way fuel valve to the"B" side to supply fuel from the
external tank. Refer to "9-6. Connecting with External Fuel Tank" for corresponding
procedures.
