1.3 Fuel pre-filter with water separator (drain accumulated water)
Draining accumulated water
On a daily basis, check the lower cup of the water separator. If
there is water in the cup, unscrew the draining plug one or two
turns, to drain the accumulated water.
After draining the water, tighten the draining plug correctly.
When the accumulation of impurities in the lower cup is noticed,
take the vehicle to a workshop to carry out its cleaning.
Changing the fuel pre-filtering element
The fuel filtering element should be changed periodically, at the
intervals recommended in the maintenance manual.
If however, the filtering element is easily saturated needing
substitution at very short intervals, this is an indication of the
accumulation of impurities in the interior of the fuel tank, and the
cleaning of the latter should be carried out.
In order to change the fuel filter element, take the vehicle to a
dealer or a King-Long Workshop.
Fuel system discharge
Activate the manual pump until feeling resistance on pumping.
Start up the engine without accelerating. If the engine does not
start running in 20 seconds, interrupt the startup and wait at least
one minute before trying again.
If the engine insists on not working, repeat the discharge
operation.
Leave the engine running for about a minute to completely
eliminate the air from the system by way of the auto-discharge
system.
In order to reduce environment pollution problems, do not drain
the residues accumulated in the water separator directly into
Nature (rivers, lakes or soil). The drained residues should be
collected in appropriate containers and taken to receiving centers
to have proper final destination (see local legislation).
