Fuel System (cont.)

The fuel in this filter is under high pressure. The fuel system
will have to be relieved of pressure before servicing. You
should have this filter serviced by an authorized dealer.
Replace element every 2 or 3 races.
WATER SEPARATING FUEL FILTER (NOT INCLUDED WITH
ENGINE)
1
We recommend a water separating fuel filter which removes
moisture and debris from the fuel. This filter should be installed
in the fuel supply line before the electric fuel pump which is sup-
plied with your engine. If the filter becomes filled with water, the
water can be removed. If the filter becomes plugged with debris,
the filter must be replaced with a new filter.

Remove and replace filter as follows:
a - Turn ignition key switch to OFF position.
b - Remove filter by turning the filter (counterclockwise). Dump
fluid in a suitable container.
c - Lubricate the sealing ring on the filter with oil.
d - Thread on filter and tighten securely by hand.
IMPORTANT: Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the filter af-
ter starting the engine.
