Fuel System Primary Filter/Water Separator - Drain
Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid
penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fu-
el spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to fol-
low these inspection, maintenance and service in-
structions may cause personal injury or death.
After the engine has stopped, you must wait for
60 seconds in order to allow the fuel pressure to
be purged from the high pressure fuel lines before
any service or repair is performed on the engine
fuel lines. If necessary, perform minor adjustments.
Repair any leaks from the low pressure fuel system
and from the cooling, lubrication or air systems.
Replace any high pressure fuel line that has leaked.
Refer to Disassembly and assembly Manual, "Fuel
Injection Lines - Install".
If you inspect the engine in operation, always use
the proper inspection procedure in order to avoid
a fluid penetration hazard. Refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "General hazard Information".
Fuel System Primary
Filter/Water Separator - Drain
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or elec-
trical components can cause a fire. To help pre-
vent possible injury, turn the start switch off when
changing fuel filters or water separator elements.
Clean up fuel spills immediately.
NOTICE
Ensure that the engine is stopped before any servicing
or repair is performed.
NOTICE
The water separator can be under suction during nor-
mal engine operation. Ensure that the drain valve is
tightened securely to help prevent air from entering
the fuel system.
1. Place a suitable container under the water
separator in order to catch any fuel that might spill.
Clean up any spilled fuel.
