Fuel Filter/Water Separator
42
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter removes contami-
nants from the fuel as it enters
the engine for combustion. Over
time the filter can become
plugged and cause the engine to
lose power, run roughly or fail to
start. The fuel filter should be
changed every 500 hours or
more often if needed to prevent
these conditions from occurring.
To change the fuel filter:
1.
Clean the outside of the filter
assembly thoroughly to
reduce the chances of con-
taminants being introduced
into the fuel system.
2.
Twist the water separator
catch bowl (A) counter clock
wise (when viewed from the
bottom) and remove it from
the assembly. Take care not
to lose the o-ring that seals
it to the filter base.
3.
Twist the upper lock ring (B)
counter clockwise (when
viewed from the bottom) and
remove it from the assembly.
4.
Slide the filter (C) downward
to remove it. Note the posi-
tion of the raised tabs on the
upper portion of the filter to
simplify reassembly.
5.
Install the new filter element
into the assembly by revers-
ing steps 2-4.
Water Separator
The water separator removes
water from the fuel supply as the
engine runs. Drain the water
separator daily to maintain prop-
er function.
To drain the water separator:
1.
Loosen the black screw on
the bottom of the separator.
2.
Re-tighten the screw after
the water has been drained
from the catch bowl.
