Fuel System Secondary Filter -

Replace

Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or elec-

trical components can cause a fire. To help pre-

vent possible injury, turn the start switch off when

changing fuel filters or water separator elements.

Clean up fuel spills immediately.

NOTICE

Do not allow dirt to enter the fuel system. Thoroughly

clean the area around a fuel system component that

will be disconnected. Fit a suitable cover over discon-

nected fuel system component.

Turn the fuel supply valve (if equipped) to the OFF

position before performing this maintenance. Place a

tray under the fuel filter in order to catch any fuel that

might spill. Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.

drain valve (5) and drain the fuel and water from

fuel filter (4) into a suitable container.

Note: If the fuel filter element is not equipped with

a drain, remove cap (1). Remove the nylon insert

in order to reduce the level of fuel in the fuel filter

element. A reduction in the level of fuel in the fuel

filter element will help prevent fuel from being spilled

when the element is removed.
