B. Cartridge Installation (See Fig. 2)
(1) Carefully install the new cartridge into the housing. Avoid bumping the cartridge tubes against the
housing sealing flange. Seat the cartridge properly within the housing. Press all edges and corners of
the cartridge firmly with fingers to effect a positive air seal against the sealing flange of the housing.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE CARTRIDGE BE POUNDED OR STRUCK
IN THE CENTER TO EFFECT A SEAL.
(2) Lock the cartridge in place by putting the cover (3) in place against the cartridge and tightening
the four retaining clamps in place.
(3) Close the right rear doors of the generator set.

5. Engine Fuel

A. Quality
The quality of fuel oil used in the diesel engine is a major factor in long engine life and performance.
Fuel oil must be clean, completely distilled, stable, and non-corrosive. Only distillate fuel No. 1D is rec-
ommended for use both summer and winter.
CAUTION: CONSULT THE " FUEL OIL SELECTING CHART " IN THE ENGINE OPERATOR'S
MANUAL BEFORE SUBSTITUTING ANOTHER GRADE OF FUEL.
B. Fuel Filter
Refer to John Deere Shop Manual in Chapter 6 for instructions on removal and replacement of fuel fil-
ter elements.
