Prior operation:
Park the machine on a firm, level surface. Lower the attachment to the ground. Apply the parking brake, and install
the transport service link to prevent unexpected articulation.
1. Change the fuel prefilter when the machine hour meter
registers 100 hours when the machine is new during the
initial run-in period. Change the fuel prefilter every 500
hours thereafter or more often if conditions so require
or if fuel quality is poor. The prefilter is located on the
left side of the machine.
2. Remove connector. Open the drain valve on the fuel
prefilter by turning counterclockwise two or three turns.
3. Drain the water and/or contaminants from the prefilter
into a suitable container until clean fuel flows. Do not
allow fuel to spill on engine or ground.
4. Turn the filter counterclockwise to remove.
5. Replace with a new filter cartridge, turning clockwise
until the cartridge meets the filter head. Hand tighten
firmly in place. Do not use a wrench to tighten. Replace
connector at bottom of filter.
