MAINTENANCE

Replacing the Fuel Filter   

Replace the line-mounted fuel filter every 
100 hours (once per season) or more often if 
it becomes clogged.

Replace the filter as follows:

1. Move the hose clamps away from the 

filter. Use flat-nosed pliers.

2. Pull the filter loose from the hose ends.
3. Push the new filter into the hose ends. 

Position the filter with the “FLOW” arrow 
pointing up toward the fuel pump. If 
necessary, a soap solution can be 
applied to the filter ends to ease 
mounting.

4. Move the hose clamps back toward the 

filter. 

Checking the Fuel Pump’s Air Filter

Regularly check that the fuel pump’s air filter 
is free from dirt. 

On Kohler engine, removal of the pump 
screws is not needed, due to the filter facing 
outwards.

Remove the screws and open the pump, no 
hoses need be removed.

The filter can be cleaned with a brush if 
necessary.

Replace the filter on the console.
