Section I. DESCRIPTION AND USE OF OPERATOR'S
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
2-1. OPERATOR'S CONTROLS AND INDICATORS.
This section provides the operator with information needed to locate, identify, and use the controls and indicators of the
200 GPM Filter-Separator.
1.
AIR VENT VALVE (1). Manually operate valve to purge air from tank while filter-separator is being filled.
Also use to purge air periodically during operation.
2.
DP GAGE (2). Indicates the pressure difference across filters during operation. Colored zones are marked on
dial face to simplify monitoring. Operation should be conducted with gage needle in the green zone, 0-20
psid. As solids collect in the filter elements, the reading gradually increases into the yellow zone, 20-35 psid.
When the gage reading reaches this zone, the filter elements should be serviced.
CAUTION
Never fully close defrost door during system operation. This would apply excessive back
pressure to the pump
3.
DEFROST DOOR (3). Manual adjustment for regulating heating of defrost shroud. Applied heat is greatest
when door is fully open.
4.
ADAPTER ASSEMBLY (4). This adapter is connected at the filter-separator outlet coupling. The adapter
contains a sampling probe which extends into the fuel flow. A Water Detector Kit may be connected to the probe
for fuel sampling.
