■FUEL FILTER

WARNING

When you mount or dismount the fuel filter, be careful not to damage the rubber packing. A damaged rubber packing or insufficient mounting of the fuel filter will cause fuel to leak.

Check how heavily the fuel filter is clogged from the fueling port of the fuel tank every 25 hours of use.

If the fuel filter is clogged with dust, empty the fuel tank, take the fuel filter out, and clean it with a brush, etc.

If the clogging of the fuel filter cannot be removed or the fuel filter is damaged, replace it with a new one.

Part No.: T1154-85100
