How to renew element(s) of the quick release canister type
Attention:
It is important that only the genuine Lovol fuel filter element is used. The use of a wrong element can damage
the fuel injection pump.
Do not allow dirt to enter the fuel system. Before a connection is disconnected, clean thoroughly the area around
the connection. After a component has been disconnected, fit a suitable cover to all open connections.
1. Thoroughly clean the outside surfaces of the fuel filter assembly.
2. Loosen the drain device (C5) at the bottom of the canister (C3) and allow the water/fuel to drain into a suitable
container.
Remark:
If the drainage equipment has not been installed, then release the cap on the top of the filter (A1). Remove
the nylon block and lower the fuel level, thus the leakage of fuel can be avoided when loosing the clamp ring.
3. Turn the sediment bowl (A4), to the left and remove the bowl, if one is fitted.
4. Turn the clamp ring (A2) to the left and remove the damp ring.
5. Remove the canister from the filter head by a direct pull downwards, and discard the old canister (A3).
6. Ensure the filter head is clean and push the new canister (A3) fully into the filter head.
7. Fit the clamp ring (B1) and turn it fully to the right to fasten the canister (B) to the filter head.
8. Remove the sediment bowl (A4) and thoroughly clean the cover of the bowl.
9. Check the two 'O' ring seals of the sediment bowl cover for damage and, if necessary, renew them.
10. Clean the threads of the sediment bowl fastener, to secure the bowl to the canister turn the bowl fully to the right
and tighten by hand only.
11. If the nylon block used for lowering the oil level has been removed, install it in canister and secure the cap.
12. Eliminate the air from the fuel filter (see page 4.12).
