WARNING!
Hot fuel can cause burns.
1 Clean the filter bracket and put a vessel under the
filter.
2 Remove the protective cap from the bleeding
nipple (1) Connect a transparent plastic hose to
the nipple and lower the hose into the vessel.
3 Shut off fuel flow through one of the filters by
turning the handle (2) to its end position (A).
4 Make sure the new filter is absolutely clean and
that the sealing surfaces are undamaged.
Moisten the seals with engine oil, including the
inner rubber seal on the inside of the threaded
hole in the center of the filter.
5 Screw the new filter on by hand until the seal just
touches the mating surface. Then tighten a
further 3/4 turn.
6 Bleed by turning the handle (2) to bleeding
position (B). This allows a reduced flow of fuel
through the filter and the air is evacuated through
the vent. Tighten the bleeding nipple when air-
free fuel flows out.
7 Remove the hose and put the protective cap back
on the nipple.
8 Repeat the procedure with the other filter.
9 Turn the handle to normal operating position (N).
Check for leakages.
