3. ELEMENT REPLACEMENT FREQUENCY
4. ELEMENT REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
Spin-off the element, fill with clean fuel and coat the
square gasket (3) with fuel. Reinstall the element and
tighten 1/4 to 1/3 turns after the gasket contacts the
upper housing. Start the machine and check that
there are no leaks.
Frequency of element replacement is determined by
contamination level in the fuel. Replace the element
upon power loss of engine (if so equipped) or every
500 hours whichever comes first.
NOTE: Foul smelling diesel fuel is an indication of
micro biological contamination. A change in fuel
source is recommended. Always carry a spare
elements as one tank full of contaminated fuel will
plug fuel filter elements prematurely.
Check the collection bowl daily. Drain off water
contaminants by opening the head vent and then the
drain. If more than 1/8 cup of fluid is drained, follow
the priming instructions, other wise, close the vent
and drain. Start machine and allow air to purge from
fuel system prior to operating equipment.
NOTE: Intervals stated are for normal operating
conditions. The intervals suggested may be
shortened or lengthened as determined by existing
conditions.
