DCA-220SSK — WATER SEPARATOR FILTER (OPTIONAL)

Water Separator Filter

The DCA-220SSK generator may be equipped with a “Water Fuel Separator". This unit is designed to prevent dirt, rust, algae, varnishes and water from entering the fuel system.

This water separator system is designed around two filters connected in parallel (Figure 6). These two filters can be configured in a variety of ways to filter water from the fuel system.

For best results it is best to have both filters active (ON) at the same time or use only one filter, and use the other filter as a reserve, that way you can use the filters alternately every time the filter element is replaced.

CAUTION:

DO NOT turn the control valve while the generator is in operation.This may stop fuel flow to the generator if both filters are set to the OFF position.

Collection Bowl Water Drainage

Inspect or drain the water in the collection bowl daily. The collection bowl must be drained before contaminants reach the bottom of the turbine.

To drain the collection bowl perform the following:

1.Open the self-venting drain to evacuate contaminants with a suitable collection container in place.

2.Prime the unit by removing the filter lid and filling with clean fuel.

3.Replace the filter lid and snugly tighten the T-handle by hand only.
