INSPECTING FUEL FILTER

w
Gasoline (petrol) is highly flammable,
and its vapors are flammable and explo-
sive.
8 If you have any question about proper-
ly doing this procedure, consult your
Yamaha dealer.
8 Do not perform this procedure on a hot
or running engine. Allow the engine to
cool.
8 There will be fuel in the fuel filter. Keep
away from sparks, cigarettes, flames
or other sources of ignition.
8 This procedure will allow some fuel to
spill. Catch fuel in a rag. Wipe up any
spilled fuel immediately.
8 The fuel filter must be reassembled
carefully with O-ring, filter cup, and
hoses in place. Improper assembly or
replacement can result in a fuel leak,
which could result in a fire or explo-
sion hazard.

NOTE:
If any water is in the fuel, the float 7 will
rise. If so, remove the cup and drain the
water.
1) Lift up and hold the spring 1 to loosen
the filter cup ring nut 2.
2) Remove the filter cup 3, catching any
spilled fuel in a rag.
3) Remove the filter element 4, and wash
it in solvent. Allow it to dry. Inspect the
filter element and O-ring 5 to make
sure they are in good condition.
Replace them if necessary. If any water
is found in the fuel, the Yamaha
portable fuel tank or other fuel tanks
should be checked and cleaned.
