Service Tips
• Strainers commonly help reduce the frequency of filter change.
• Strainers can be cleaned with denatured alcohol. Replace the strainer if it is damaged or
partially clogged and not cleanable.
• Always check/clean the strainer when replacing a filter.
• Ensure that you note the orientation of the tabs when reinstalling the strainer
(see
).
Hanging Hardware

and may drain or spray while removing parts.
• Fire and explosion could result in severe injury or death.
• Test and close the shear valves involved. Shut off power to the unit.
• Remove parts slowly. Collect fuel in approved containers.
• Clean up all spills promptly.
