Things to prepare
• Container for fuel
1) Open the engine hood rear cover.
2) Place the container for fuel under the fuel filter.

wrench to remove it.
4) Wipe the dirt from the filter mount.
5) Fill up the new filter with fuel and apply engine oil to the
seal surface of it, then mount it.

until its packing contacts the bracket and tighten it 2/3
turns more.
6) Release air after the replacement of filter is completed.
(Refer to P3-58).
7) After air releasing, start the engine to check for leaking
and other problems.

cover.
25-7. Maintenance every 500 service hours
• Keep sparks, flames and lit cigarettes away.
• At the operating temperature, the engine compo-
nents are hot and can cause a burn. Replace the
element after the engine has cooled sufficiently.
The fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or
electrical components may cause a fire.
