4. Rotate the fuel filter counterclockwise and remove the
fuel filter (
Figure 129 ).
Note:
Discard the fuel filter.
5. Using a clean rag, wipe clean the surface of the
fuel-filter adapter where the fuel filter seats with a clean
rag.
6. Fill the new fuel filter with the specified fuel.
7. Align the fuel filter to the fuel-filter adapter, and rotate
it clockwise until the seal of the fuel filter contacts the
fuel-filter adapter (
Figure 129 ).
Important:
Do not use a fuel filter strap wrench
to install the new oil filter. The wrench can dent a
fuel filter and therefore cause a leak.
8. Hand tighten the fuel filter and additional 1/2 turn
(
Figure 129 ).
9. Remove the drain pan or rags you placed in step 3 and
dispose of the used fuel according to local codes.
Checking the Fuel Lines and
Connections
Service Interval: Every 500 hours/Yearly (whichever
comes first)—Inspect the fuel lines and
connections.
Inspect the fuel lines and connections for deterioration,
damage, or loose connections.
Draining and Cleaning the Fuel
Tank
Service Interval: Every 1,000 hours/Yearly (whichever
comes first)—Drain and clean the fuel
tank.
Drain and clean the tank if the fuel system becomes
contaminated or if the machine will be stored for an extended
period of time. Use clean fuel to flush out the tank. Refer to
Draining Water from the Fuel Tank (page 90) for draining
instructions.
Note:
Perform this procedure when the fuel level is low, to
avoid draining a large volume of fuel.
