Fuel Filter Change
The fuel filter (photo A) should be
changed every 500 service hours, or as
needed. A plugged fuel filter can cause
the engine to lose power, run roughly, or
fail to start.
To change the filter:
1. Clean the outside of the filter (1) thor-
oughly.
2. Remove bolt (2) on the top of the fil-
ter assembly, then remove filter.
3. Pour diesel fuel into new filter until it
is full.
4. Reverse step 2 to install the new fuel
filter into the machine.
Water Separator
The water separator (photo B) removes
water from the fuel supply as the engine
runs. Drain the water separator daily to
maintain proper function.
To drain the water separator:
1. Loosen the twist valve on
the bottom of the separator.
2. Retighten the valve once all of the
water has been drained from the
catch bowl.
Fuel Specifications
In North America, diesel fuel, distilled
from crude oil, that is identified as No. 1-
D or No. 2-D in “ASTM D975” generally
meet the proper specifications.
