Inspection Every 50 Hours Operation

Draining of the Fuel Tank (NOT 7/26E, 7/31E)

1. Prepare a waste oil container.
2. Remove the drain plug of the fuel tank to drain (water, dust, etc.) from the
fuel tank bottom.
3. Drain until fuel with no water and dust flow out. Then tighten the drain plug
firmly.

Draining of the Oil/Water Separator

Draining Water from Fuel Filter/Separator
The fuel filter/separator is provided to allow water to be drained from the fuel system.
Water is heavier than fuel so any water contained in the system will collect in the bottom
of the bowl.
The clear bowl 'D' should be checked on a daily basis and if water is present, it should be
drained from the separator.
Place a suitable container under the separator to prevent any spillage inside the machine.
Slacken the drain valve 'E' until water drains from the vent tube.
When all the water has been evacuated, tighten the drain valve 'E' and follow the
"Fuel System Air Bleeding" procedure below.
Fuel System Air Bleeding
The entry of air into the fuel system will cause difficult engine starting or engine
malfunction.
When carrying out service procedures such as emptying the fuel tank, draining the
filter/separator, and changing the fuel filter element be sure to bleed air from the fuel
system.
To activate the "automatic air-bleeding system", turn the key switch to the "ON" position
and energize the electromagnetic pump to bleed the air.
