4.7.10.d CHANGING THE FUEL FILTER
DANGER
•
Change the filtering element after work, when the engine
has cooled down to 40÷45°C.
•
When these operations are carried out, fuel may be
spilled; clean the dirty areas immediately, in order to pre-
vent any risk of slipping or fire.
•
Oils, filters, the coolant and the battery are considered
special waste and must be collected and disposed of ac-
cording to the anti-pollution regulations in force.
The fuel filter and the fuel pump can be reached after opening
the engine hood (see “3.5.1 ENGINE HOOD”).

3 - Lubricate the gasket of the new filter and tighten thoroughly.
4 - Given another half turn by hand.
5 - Bleed the fuel supply circuit.
BLEEDING THE CIRCUIT

«
» for a few seconds and wait at least two minutes be-
fore starting the engine.
•
If the engine starts regularly and then stops or works ir-
regularly, check if there is air in the circuit; if so, check the
fuel filter and the water separator for leaks.
•
When all the fuel in the tank has been consumed, bleed
the circuit by proceeding as described above and repeat
the operation at least twice.

The fuel filter must be changed when the relevant alarm
signal comes on on the electronic display positioned on
the front dashboard. After performing this maintenance
operation, set the partial service hours to zero. For further
