6.8.1 Exchange of the Fuel Filter
Fig. 6.8.1-1: Fuel Filter
Exchanging the filter, depending upon fuel contamination,
should take place after 300 operational hours at the very

he inlet must be clamped, before exchanging the filter.
Remove the hoses from the used filter and fasten them to the
new filter. The arrow on the filter housing indicates the direc-
tion of the fuel flow. A clogged filter causes a decreased power
output of the generator.
