MAINTENANCE |
7.Inspect for holes and tears by looking through the element toward a bright light. Check for damaged gaskets or dented metal parts. Do not reuse damaged elements. Protect element from dust and damage during drying and storage.
8.Reinstall air filter element.
After six cleanings replace air filter. A cleaned filter will have approximately 70% of the life of a new filter element. A restricted filter element may not appear excessively dirty.

WATER SEPARATOR ELEMENT
The water separator element is a two stage filter with a special filtration/water separating media, and an expanded water reservoir providing maximum protection against water in the fuel. The recommended change interval for the water separator element is 1,000 hours. The procedure for changing the element is as follows:
1.Close the fuel shutoff valve (Lever should be perpendicular to the hose) located on the side of the Fuel
2.Rotate the quick change ring (located just below filter header) clockwise approximately 1/2 turn and slide it down and off of the element.
3.Grasp the element and pull down with a slight rocking motion to remove the element from the grommet post on the bottom of the filter header.
4.Slide the new element onto the grommet post on the bottom of the filter header until the element no longer easily moves up into the filter header. Now rotate the element (may take almost 1 full turn) with a slight upward pressure until the element begins to further engage the header. With the proper orientation now established apply additional pressure to seat the element in the filter header. You should feel the element “pop” into place when properly seated.
Note: The element will only go on one way. Never use excessive force when mounting the element to the header.
5.Slide the quick change ring up over the element and rotate counter clockwise until an audible click or pop is heard. If you do not hear the click you have not rotated the ring far enough and the element is not in the locked position. Another indication that the ring is in the locked position is that one set (it doesn’t matter which one) of arrows located on the outside of the ring should be located directly under the air vent valve.
6.Open the fuel shutoff valve (lever in line with the hose).
7.Open the air vent valve on the front of the filter header until fuel emerges free of air bubbles and then close the air vent valve.
Note : Consult your engine operation manual for information on air bleeding the entire fuel system.
SECONDARY FUEL FILTER
The Secondary Fuel Filter is a spin on cartridge type mount directly to the engine. Consult your engine operation manual for complete information on service intervals and element changing procedures.
