WARNINGS
l Do not operate the filter/separator unit until it has been connected to a suitable ground.
A static discharge could ignite the fuel or cause an explosion of the fuel vapor.
l Do not smoke or use open flame in vicinity of filter /separator. Use protective
equipment to prevent skin and eye contact with fuel.
l Make sure fire extinguishers and fire fighting equipment are available in the immediate
area. Be extremely careful when using a fire extinguisher in an enclosed area.
Provide adequate ventilation.
a. Make sure water drain valve (1) is closed.
b. Ensure the inlet (2) and outlet (3) connections are tight.
