INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Make sure the engine is stopped and the ignition or starting circuit has been turned off.
Using the universal mounting straps provided, mount the purifier approximately level with or lower than the
intake of the primary filter. Install the purifier in a vertical position. Make sure to provide sufficient clearance
for the fuel line connections and verify there is adequate room below the purifier to allow for draining
(see
maintenance instructions)
.
Disconnect the fuel line between the fuel tank and the primary fuel filter. Bend, modify or replace fuel lines
so that the fuel line runs from the tank to the IN coupling on the purifier. Modify the existing line or prepare
a new fuel line from the OUT coupling on the purifier to the input fitting on the primary filter.
All plumbing and pipe fittings must be of compatible materials and size to insure a smooth even flow to the
purifier.
(WARNING: USE OF INCORRE
CT FITTING MAY ALTER MANUFACTURER’
S
SPECIFICATIONS AND ADVERSELY AFFECT WARRANTY)
. Wrap at least four (4) layers of Teflon
tape
(or other acceptable sealant),
around the threads. Including the spring-sealed bottom drain, top fill
plug and the inlet and outlet fuel line fittings.
The purifier must be grounded to insure proper operation of the optional heating element or optional sensor,
(if purchased follow these instructions provided).
A ground strap or ring should be threaded on the heating
element then at least four (4) layers of Teflon tape should be wrapped around the threads and the heating
element tightened into the purifier body. Connect a ground wire (not provided) to ground
(engine block,
frame rail or similar reliable location. Because of the powder-coated finish on the purifier and mounting
straps, an acceptable ground cannot be ensured simply by mounting the purifier to the engine or frame).
Connect a switch-controlled fused lead
(works only when ignition is on)
to the terminal of the heater. This
provides for operation of the heater only when the ignition is on. The heater remains in operation whenever
the equipment is operating. It is not necessary to disconnect or shut off the heater in warm or hot weather.
Note: Operation of the purifier, especially in warmer climates, does not require the use of the heater.
However, if the heater is not to be used, the heater coupling on the purifier must be plugged.
Connect the prepared fuel lines. Make sure the lines run from the fuel tank to the IN coupling on the purifier
and from the OUT coupling to the primary fuel filter. Install the drain plug and check that the factory installed
sensor port cap is secure. Replace the sensor port cap with the optional sensor.
(If sensor purchased
–
follow the instructions provided with the sensor kit)
. Inspect to ensure the compatibility of all lines, and
check for kinks or crimps, which may impede fuel flow. Check all connections to ensure they are correct
and tight.
Completely fill the purifier with clean fuel. Install the top plug, make sure plug has been properly wrapped
with Teflon tape
(or other acceptable sealant)
to insure a tight seal. To ensure proper operation of the
purifiern all air must be purged from the fuel system.
Note: Make sure all air has been evacuated from the purifier. If a priming pump is not provided on the
engine, it may be necessary to remove the top plug and refill the purifier once or twice during the initial
installation or subsequent engine or filter service.
