Regular Maintenance
Drain Fuel Separator
Service Interval: Seasonally or as Needed
The fuel filter assembly has a built in water separator that should be drained when the indicator light in the dashboard display turns on or once per season.
Replace the fuel filter element every 800 hours of opera- tion or as required.
To drain 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.Place a container under the fuel filter tube and turn the base of the filter assembly (E, Figure 24) approxi- mately 1 turn.
4.Allow the filter to drain until all water and debris have drained out.
5.Turn the base of the filter back to close the fuel filter valve when finished draining.
