INSTALLATION OF "SEPAR 2000"
WATER SEPARATION AND FUEL FILTER

• The Separ 2000 must be installed on the suction side of the fuel system.
• The Separ 2000 should be installed in an easily accessible place in the fuel system (suction side). All other filters on the suction side should be removed.
• The filter can be installed either higher or lower than the tank. For best results, arrange for the filter inlet to be level with the top of the tank.
• In cases where the filter is at a lower level, a shut-off valve must be installed; otherwise fuel will flow out when the filter lid is opened. After installing the Separ 2000, fill up the filter with fuel to avoid running the delivery pump without fuel.
• Finally, test the filter and joints for leaks.

REPLACING THE FILTER ELEMENT
Note: Before changing filter, backflush the filter element.

1. Turn off the engine.
2. Loosen the lid screws.
3. Remove the lid.
4. Take out the spring frame.
5. Take out the filter element.
6. Replace the element.
7. Put the spring frame on top of the element.
8. Check the lid gasket (if necessary, replace) then correctly seat the gasket and lid.
9. Screw the lid tightly on.
10. Check for correct positioning of the lid.
11. Start the engine again.

BACKFLUSHING
Backflushing is required when dirt and water block the filter element. The following signs will indicate this:

• Loss of engine power
• Black smoke may exhaust from the engine
• Vacuum gauge will indicate a high restriction reading on the element of the filter.

BACKFLUSHING PROCEDURES

1. Stop the engine or switch over to the spare filter on the switchable units.
2. Open the bleed screw.
   • This introduces atmospheric pressure into the filter
   • The dirt particles and larger droplets of water will release from the bottom of the filter element
   • Gravity will assist the dirt particles as they slowly fall to the bottom of the bowl
3. Open the drain valve (PUSH IN AND TURN).
   • The clean fuel above the filter will backflush through the filter element. This will release the smaller dirt and water particles.
   • Drain the fuel until the dirt and water are removed from the filter and the bowl.
4. Close the drain valve.
5. Close the bleed screw (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN).
6. You man now start your engine or switch back to the clean filter.
7. If the engine still lacks power, try backflushing the filter again.
8. If restriction is still to high, change the filter element.
