Fuel System Primary Filter/
Water Separator - Drain
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or electri-
cal components can cause a fire. To help prevent
possible injury, turn the start switch off when
changing fuel filters or water separator elements.
Clean up fuel spills immediately.
Ensure that the engine is stopped before any servic-
ing or repair is performed.
The water separator can be under suction during nor-
mal engine operation. Ensure that the drain valve is
tightened securely to help prevent air from entering
the fuel system.
The engine is equipped with two primary fuel filters,
g03086798
one on engine, and another off engine. Both primary
fuel filters require the water draining daily.
