replace the primary fuel filter element.
The secondary fuel filter is behind the access door
on the right side of the machine.
1. Shut off the fuel supply. The fuel shutoff valve is
under the fuel tank on the rear of the machine.
2. Remove the filter element. Discard the filter
element properly.
3. Clean the filter housing base. Make sure that all
of the old seal is removed.
4. Coat the seal of the new filter element with clean
diesel fuel.
Personal injury or death can result from a fire.
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or electrical components can cause a fire.
Clean up all leaked or spilled fuel. Do not smoke
while working on the fuel system.
Turn the disconnect switch OFF or disconnect the
battery when changing fuel filters.
NOTICE
Do not fill fuel filters with fuel before installing them.
Contaminated fuel will cause accelerated wear to fuel
system parts.
5. Install the new filter element by hand. When the
seal contacts the base, tighten the filter element
for an additional 3/4 turn.
Rotation index marks are positioned on the
filter element at 90 degree intervals. Use these
rotation index marks as a guide when you tighten
the filter.
