Air Cleaner Element Replacement - Fleetwood Bounder 1987 Owner's Manual

Replace the carburetor inlet fuel filter at the inter-
vals shown in the Maintenance Schedule. A plugged
filter and/or check valve will restrict fuel flow.
After assembling any filter element in the car-
buretor, always start the engine and check for leaks
in the fuel line and fittings before installing the air
cleaner.
Additional fuel filters for the engine and generator
are located in the compartment on the left side of the
coach. They are spin-on types, and are easily replaced.
Use caution to avoid fuel spillage.
Inspect and maintain the fuel system in accordance
with the Maintenance Schedule. Check fuel lines for
signs of leakage, damage or deterioration. Tighten
clamps if they are loose. Replace filters in the fuel line
and the evaporative control system at the recom-
mended intervals.
