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.
