Replace the Fuel Filters -
Gasoline/LPG Models
Engine specifications require that
this procedure be performed every
200 hours.
Replacing the gasoline fuel filter is essential to
good engine performance and service life. A dirty
or clogged filter may cause the engine to perform
poorly and continued use may cause component
damage. Extremely dirty conditions may require
that the filter be replaced more often.
Explosion and fire hazard. Engine
fuels are combustible. Replace the
fuel filter in an open, well-
ventilated area away from heaters,
sparks, flames and lighted
tobacco. Always have an
approved fire extinguisher within
easy reach.
Perform this procedure with the
engine off.
1 Locate the fuel pre-filter to the left of the ground
control box.
2 Turn the manual shutoff valve, located at the
fuel tank, to the
CLOSED
4 - 28
position.

3 At the pre-filter, disconnect the fuel hose that
goes to the fuel tank.
4 Disconnect and plug the fuel hose from the fuel
pre-filter to the fuel pump, then remove the pre-
filter.
5 Install the new fuel pre-filter (Genie part number
52179) and connect the fuel hoses to the filter.
6 Clean up any fuel that may have spilled during
the installation procedure.
7 Remove the 2 engine pivot plate retaining bolts.
Swing the engine pivot plate away from the
machine to access the fuel pressure regulator/
filter.
8 Locate the fuel pressure regulator/filter installed
on the engine mounting leg.
9 Disconnect and plug the hoses from the fuel
pressure regulator/filter.
Explosion and fire hazard.
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
systems operate at a very high
pressure. Fuel may be expelled
under pressure if the hoses are
removed too quickly. Loosen the
fuel hoses very slowly to allow the
fuel pressure to dissipate
gradually. Wrap a cloth around
fuel hoses to absorb leaking fuel
before disconnecting them.
10 Remove the fuel pressure regulator/filter
mounting fasteners. Then remove the regulator/
filter from the engine mounting leg.
