Tap extension fuel filter

A small fuel filter has been fitted to the inlet side of the fuel valve (20), inside the tank. This tap extension fuel filter (12) prevents any dirt in the fuel from entering the fuel system.

The procedure for removing this filter in order to replace or clean it is given below.

Note: the following procedure should be performed in a well ventilated area, with no naked flames, sparks, or cigarettes.

Safety glasses should also be worn and engine switch (10) set to the OFF position.

1.Completely empty the tank of fuel. Ensure the fuel tap

(20)is in the OFF position

2.Compress the two wire arms

of the hose clamp on the	O
outlet hose at the tap (20)
and slide the clamp back
from the end of the hose
by approx. 25mm. Slide the
fuel hose off the outlet of
the tap (20) (Fig. O).

3.Loosen the lock nut locking the tap (20) on to the tank (Fig. P). Unscrew the tap from the tank and withdraw the tap from the tank. Be careful not to lose the small seal on the thread of the tap.

4.Unscrew the tap extension fuel filter (12) (Fig. Q).

Note. This filter can be cleaned in petrol to remove any build-up of dirt on the outside of the filter, or the filter can be replaced. Do not operate the generator without this filter in place. To replace the filter after cleaning, or with a new filter, simply screw the filter into the inlet side of the tap.

5.Ensuring the small seal is fitted to the tap thread, screw the tap back into the tank by a FULL 3–4 turns. Orientate the tap so the outlet of the tap is towards the rear of the tank, and the tap control is to the right hand side of the tank. Holding the tap firm, tighten the lock nut, ensuring the seal is clamped between the lock nut and the tank (Fig. R).

6.Refit the fuel hose to the outlet of the tap and with the wire arms compressed, slide the hose clamp up onto the connection of the hose and the tap (Fig. S).
