Fuel Filter

This unit is equipped with two fuel filters. One is a water
seperator (A, Figure 14) and the other is a fuel filter (C).
Both filters are located in the engine compartment on the
right side of the engine. The water separator should be
drained every 50 hours or whenever water is visible in the
bowl. Replace both fuel filters every 500 hours of operation
or as required.
To Replace the Fuel Filter:
1. Turn the engine off, set the parking brake, remove the
ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Allow the engine and surrounding areas to cool to room
temperature.
3. Open the hood to gain access to the fuel filter. The fuel
filter is located in the engine compartment on the right
side of the engine.
4. Place an absorbant cloth below the filter to catch any
spilled fuel.
5. Close (D) the fuel cock (E) of the water seperator.
6. Remove the fuel filter using a filter wrench to turn it to
the left (F). When removing the fuel filter, carefully hold
it to prevent the fuel from spilling. Wipe up all spilled
fuel.
7. Clean the filter mounting surface and apply a small
amount of diesel fuel to the gasket of the new fuel filter.
8. Install the new fuel filter. Hand-tighten it to the right (G)
until it comes into contact with the mounting surface.
Use a filter wrench and tighten to 14 - 17 ft. lbs. (19,6-
23,5 Nm).
9. Open (H) the fuel cock on the water seperator and wipe
up any spilled fuel.
10. Prime the fuel system. See Priming the Fuel System.
11. Check for fuel leaks.
