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

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).
