Changing The Fuel Filter

Replace the fuel filter cartridge after every 600 hours of operation.

NOTE: There is no shut off valve in the fuel system. To stop the flow of fuel while replacing the filter, it will be necessary to carefully clamp the fuel line between the fuel tank and the filter.

•Place a suitable container beneath the filter cup.

•Clamp the fuel line just to the rear of the fuel filter. Refer to Figure 62.

•Open the cup drain and drain the filter cup into the container below. Close the cup drain. Refer to Figure 61.

•Grasp the filter cup ring and turn counterclock- wise (as viewed from the bottom of the cup) to unscrew the cup from the filter cartridge. See Figure 62.

•Locate the projection on the upper rim of the new filter cartridge and align with the notch in the filter body.

•Push the new filter cartridge fully up into the filter body.

•Position the locking ring and turn it clockwise to secure the filter cartridge.

NOTE: If the cartridge if not fully up into the filter body, the locking ring will not turn. Push the cartridge further up into the body.

•Thread the filter cup up onto the new filter cartridge and fully tighten.

•After checking that the filter cup and locking ring are properly installed and the cup drain is closed, remove the clamp from the fuel line.

•The filter cup should begin to fill will diesel fuel.

•Slowly turn the air bleed knob counterclockwise until fuel refills the cup and begins to seeps out around the bleed knob. Turn the air bleed knob clockwise to close. Refer to Figure 62.

•Remove the catch container and properly dispose of the diesel fuel.

•Start and run the tractor’s engine for a short period to fully bleed any residual air from the filter, fuel lines, and injection pump.

WARNING: Never loosen or remove the filter body cap (Refer to Figure 62). Diesel fuel will pour quickly from the loosened cap. Also, the cap O-ring may be damaged when the cap is retightened, causing continued leak- age of flammable fuel.
