FUEL FILTERS
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 14-1.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuel is supplied to the fuel pump and carburetor through flexible lines. Two in-line filters are installed between
the fuel tank and the carburetor. Fuel filters, fuel lines and the fuel tank vent should be inspected periodically for
leaks.
The fuel filters should be replaced when necessary, but under no circumstances should the period of time
between filter changes exceed two years or 200 hours.
FUEL FILTER REMOVAL
1. Remove seat or lift bed to access engine compartment.
2. To prevent gasoline drainage, turn the fuel shut-off valve (15) on the gas tank (19) (Figure 14-16,
Page 14-19) to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 14-21, Page 14-26).
3. Remove the primary fuel filter (17) (Figure 14-16, Page 14-19).
3.1. Remove the clamps (16) and fuel lines (1 and 2) from the filter and plug the fuel lines (Figure 14-
16, Page 14-19).
4. Remove the secondary filter (22) (Figure 14-16, Page 14-19):
4.1. Remove the clamps (16) and fuel lines (3 and 4) from the filter and plug the fuel lines (3 and 4)
(Figure 14-16, Page 14-19).
FUEL FILTER INSTALLATION
• ENGINE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR IF THE AIR BOX COVER IS NOT PROPERLY SECURED.
• IF AIR BOX IS EXTREMELY DIRTY, REMOVE AIR BOX FROM VEHICLE AND CLEAN
THOROUGHLY.
• USE ONLY CLUB CAR REPLACEMENT AIR FILTERS (CLUB CAR PART NO. 1015426). THE USE
OF OTHER AIR FILTERS COULD RESULT IN ENGINE DAMAGE. IF THE AIR FILTER IS TOO
THIN, THE COVER WILL SEAT BEFORE THE FILTER CAN SEAL, LEAVING SPACE FOR DIRT
TO PASS INTO THE ENGINE ON ALL SIDES OF THE ELEMENT. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE
ENGINE AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
• FUEL FILTERS ARE MARKED WITH FLOW DIRECTION ARROWS. MAKE SURE THAT FILTERS
ARE INSTALLED WITH ARROWS POINTING IN THE DIRECTION OF FUEL FLOW FROM TANK
TO CARBURETOR.
