Note: the following procedure should be performed in a well
ventilated area, with no naked flames, sparks, or cigarettes.
Safety glasses should also be worn and switch (6) set to the
OFF position.
1. Completely empty the tank of fuel. Ensure the fuel tap (4)
is in the OFF position
2. Compress the two wire arms of the hose clamp on the
outlet hose at the tap (4) and slide the clamp back from
the end of the hose by approx. 25mm. Slide the fuel hose
off the outlet of the tap (4).
3. Remove the 4 screws holding the fuel tank (3) to
the generator assembly and lift the tank clear of the
generator.
4. Loosen the lock nut locking
the tap (4) on to the tank.
Unscrew the tap from the tank
and withdraw the tap from the
tank. Be careful not to lose
the small seal on the thread of
the tap.
5. Unscrew the tap extension fuel filter (9).
This filter can be cleaned in petrol to remove any build-up of
dirt on the outside of the filter, or the filter can be replaced.
Do not operate the generator without this filter in place. To
replace the filter after cleaning, or with a new filter, simply
screw the filter into the inlet side of the tap.
6. Ensuring the small seal is
fitted to the tap thread, screw
the tap back into the tank by
a FULL 3–4 turns. Orientate
the tap so the outlet of the tap
is towards the rear of the tank,
and the tap control is to the
right hand side of the tank.
Holding the tap firm, tighten
the lock nut, ensuring the seal is
clamped between the lock nut
and the tank.
7. Refit the fuel hose to the
outlet of the tap and with the
wire arms compressed, slide
the hose clamp up onto the
connection of the hose and
the tap.
8. Refill the tank with fuel and ensure there are no leaks
between the tap and the tank, and with the fuel tap
turned on, ensure there are no leaks where the fuel hose
is fitted to the outlet of the tap.
