Full-Flow Main Filter Replacement

To replace the full-flow main filter:
1 Make sure the filter casing is thoroughly cleaned. If not already done, wash the
area around the filter mounting adapter with a suitable solvent and blow dry with
compressed air.
2 Put a suitable container in place to collect spillage.
3 Using a filter wrench, remove the filter casing from the mounting bracket and
discard it.
4 Apply a thin film of clean engine oil to the sealing gasket of the new filter.
5 Screw the new dry filter in place and tighten an additional 3/4 to 1 turn by hand
after the gasket contacts the base.
6 If necessary, replace the water separating pre-filter. See the preceding instructions.
7 Start the engine and run at idle for five minutes to fill the filter with fuel.
8 Check for leaks.
CAUTION
Severe engine damage may be caused by attempting to prime the fuel system using
an auxiliary pump or by applying air pressure in the fuel tank. These techniques
may destroy seals that prevent fuel from leaking into the crankcase.
