3.13.8 REPLACEMENT OF CLAMPS pn 384
(See Fig. 3.13/1 and 3.13/2)
The clamps pn 384 that fix the hoses to the cooling system need to be replaced whenever they show some kind of
oxidation, when they are broken or when they no longer tighten correctly.
The tightening action of the clamps should be checked frequently, as rubber hoses may get deformed with time,
thus altering the tightening action and seal.
3.13.8.1 CHECK PROCEDURE
1. Before starting verify that the engine's ignition key and push ‐ button are in OFF position and that all the
breakers are switched OFF;
2. Inspect all the clamps pn 384 and make sure they are tight;
3. If the clamps do not keep their tightening action (i.e. the screw turns without effort) or if evident
oxidation is found, replace them immediately.
3.14 REPLACEMENT OF FUEL FILTER
(See fig. 3.14/1)
CAUTION:
It is strongly recommended to respect the maintenance schedule and replace the fuel filter as per Magni
Gyro diagram dates (see Ordinary Maintenance Diagram). Furthermore, the replacement of the fuel
filter is recommended whenever you think you have used fuel that is contaminated or has not been
filtered correctly.
The fuel pressure indicator (1) gives hints about how clean the fuel filter pn 274 is.
If these values are lower than usual, replacement of the filter pn 274 is advisable.
The following steps indicate the correct procedure for replacing the fuel filter pn 274.
CAUTION:
If the fuel line is not completely empty, then adequate caps or pipe wrenches should be prepared before
starting the operation. They will be useful to avoid any unwanted discharge of fuel from the hoses when
removing the used filter.
1. Before starting verify that the engine's ignition key and push ‐ button are in OFF position and that all the
breakers are switched OFF;
2. Cut the cable tie pn 4,8x300 and free the fuel filter pn 274 from the support pn 186;
