CAUTION
•
Do not clean the fuel filter element and reuse
it. Replace the filter element at the recom-
mended maintenance interval. Reusing the
filter element may damage the fuel injection
system.
•
When replacing the fuel filter element, be
sure to use the special tool to remove and
reinstall the fuel filter. If the fuel filter is tight-
ened to an inappropriate torque when rein-
stalled, fuel could leak and the filter itself
could become damaged. If you do not have
the special tool, please contact an authorized
Sterling service facility.
•
Be careful not to damage the filter case, as
this could cause a fuel leak.

WARNING
•
Diesel fuel is combustible and can ignite if
exposed to open flame, intense heat, or
other source of ignition. A fire could result
in burn injuries or loss of life.
•
After installing the fuel filter, confirm that
no fuel is leaking out. Leaking fuel could
cause a fire or explosion, resulting in seri-
ous personal injury or loss of life.
•
Use only the approved fuel filter. Other fil-
ters could cause a fuel leak, resulting in a
fire or explosion.
•
Be careful when gaining access to the fuel
filter. Clearances are tight in this area.
Contact with sharp or rough surfaces
could cause personal injury.
