Cleaning The Sediment Trap; Post Maintenance Checks; Performing Fuel System Leak Test - Generac Power Systems EcoGen 15 kW Owner's Manual

6. When inspection is complete, connect battery
cables, install intake side panel, and install 7.5A
fuse.
7. Press AUTO button on controller.
8. Install front panel and close generator lid.

Cleaning the Sediment Trap

A 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 sediment trap per local codes and
guidelines.
Proceed as follows to clean the sediment trap:
1. Remove intake side panel (see
Removal).
2. Turn generator fuel supply OFF.
3. See Figure 4-13. Unscrew and remove cap (A).
Figure 4-13. Cleaning the Sediment Trap
4. Use a clean-out tool (not provided) to remove
accumulated moisture and particles from cap and
body (B).
5. Wipe inside of each component with a clean, dry,
lint-free cloth.
6. Seal cap threads with appropriate sealing com-
pound. Install cap and hand-tighten.
7. Tighten cap with an appropriately sized pipe
wrench. DO NOT overtighten.
8. Turn generator fuel supply ON. Inspect for leaks by
spraying all connection points with a non-corrosive
gas leak detection fluid. Solution should not be
blown away or form bubbles.
9. Install intake side panel.

Post Maintenance Checks

Proceed as follows to perform post maintenance checks:
1. Perform required maintenance procedure(s).
2. Install intake side panel and front panel if removed.
(See Intake Side Panel Removal
Access Panel Removal.)
3. Install 7.5A fuse in control panel.

Performing Fuel System Leak Test

Intake Side Panel
All products are factory-tested before shipping to verify
the performance and integrity of the fuel system. How-
B
ever, it is important to perform a final fuel system leak test
before starting the generator. The entire fuel system
should be tested from supply to regulator.
See
after generator installation. The test will identify possible
leaks at all connection points (A).

It is best practice to perform a fuel system leak test
during normally-scheduled maintenance.

4. Complete Install Wizard information.
5. Press AUTO button on control panel. Allow unit to
run for one minute with no load (if running during a
utility outage).
6. Set generator MLCB (generator disconnect) to ON
(CLOSED).
7. Set utility MLCB to ON (CLOSED).
DANGER
Explosion and fire. Fuel and vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive. No leakage of fuel is
permitted. Keep fire and spark away. Failure to do
so will result in death or serious injury.
