WARNING

Never re-install a dirty filter.
1. Lower the loader arms and turn the ignition key to OFF to stop the engine. Remove the key.
2. Clamp the fuel line between the fuel tank and the fuel filter or move fuel shut-off valve to the
“Closed” position, if equipped, to block the fuel flow.
3. Squeeze the ends of the hose clamps together and slide them away from the filter.
4. Place a drain pan under the fuel lines to catch any spilled fuel and remove the filter from the fuel
lines.
5. Install a new filter by sliding hose ends onto filter fittings; ensuring proper flow direction. Replace
hose clamps to their correct position to secure the fuel lines to the filter.
6. Remove the clamp blocking the fuel flow or return the fuel shut-off valve to the OPEN position.
