SEPAR 2000
Pre-separator and fuel filter
The Separ 2000 filter is installed at an easily accessible point of
the intake line. All other filters in the intake line should be
removed. The pre-cleaner, the fine filter and the microfilter
remain in the fuel system.
If the filter is installed at a lower level than the fuel tank, a shutoff valve should be installed upstream of the filter so that no fuel
can flow out when the filter element is changed.
Draining out condensation and impurities
(weekly, or more often if climate and operating conditions
demand it)

Place a suitable vessel underneath.

Fit a new seal to the drain plug before every draining
procedure.
Unscrew bleed screw by one or two turns.
Open drain cock.
Let condensation and impurities drain out and dispose of
them properly.
Close drain cock.
Tighten bleed screw again.
Pull off hose.

Note:

If the condensation is to be drained out the fuel tank

must be at least half-full. Drain out the condensation
and impurities before they reach the lower edge of the
centrifuge (this can be seen in the sight glass).

Tightening torque for bleed screw ........................... 8-10 Nm

If contaminated the filter element in the upper part of the housing
must be cleaned or changed (see Maintenance Manual).

Park the vehicle

Screw hose with clamp (MAN no.: 81.12540-6004) to neck of
drain cock.

A Fuel input

Note on assembly: Pre-load the clamp only so much that it is

just possible to push the hose into place.
