MAINTENANCE
Replacing the fuel filter
Replace the fuel filter mounted on the supply line after every 100 hours (once per season) or more frequently if it is clogged.
Replace the filter as follows:
1. Open the engine cover.
2.Move the hose clamps away from the filter. Use a pair of flat pliers.
3.Pull the filter loose from the hose ends.
4. | Push the new filter into the hose ends. Position the | |
| filter with the “FLOW” arrow pointing up towards |
|
| the fuel pump. If necessary, a soap solution can be |
|
| applied to the ends of the filter to simplify |
|
| assembly. |
|
5. | Move the hose clamps back toward the filter. |
