Installation Instructions
Adjustable, one-piece clamp-
type mounting brackets (with
grade 5 fasteners) are included
for ensured durability. The 900FH
uses one mounting bracket and
1000FH uses two mounting
brackets, both can be adjusted
for a secure t.

to a minimum. Locate the
lter assembly between
the horizontal planes of the
bottom of the fuel tank and
the inlet of the fuel pump, if
possible. If lter is installed in
an application where the fuel
tank is higher than the lter, a
shut-off valve must be installed
between the tank and the
lter assembly INLET. This will
be used when servicing the
replacement lter.

vacuum side lters in the fuel
line between the fuel tank and
the fuel pump. This is where
the lter assembly will be
mounted. Leaving these lters
in place will add to the fuel line
restriction. Filter heads cast
into the engine, or that are
non-removable, or hard-piped,
should be serviced with a new
lter and left in place.

the maximum size fuel hose
possible. Do not make sharp
bends with exible fuel hose as
kinks may occur. Avoid the use
of two 45° elbow ttings where
one 90° elbow will work.

Priming Instructions
1. Remove T-handle and lid from
top of lter.
2. Fill lter with clean fuel.
3. Lubricate lid gasket and
T-handle O-ring with clean fuel
or motor oil.
4. Replace lid and T-handle and
tighten snugly by hand
only—do not use tools.
5. If applicable, refer to equipment
Operator’s Service Manual
to complete fuel priming
procedure.
6. Start engine and check for
fuel system leaks. Correct as
necessary with engine off and
pressure relieved from lter
assembly.
Draining Water
Frequency of water draining is
determined by the contamination
level of fuel. Inspect or drain
collection bowl of water daily or as
necessary. Collection bowl must be
drained before contaminants reach
the top of the turbine or when the
Water Detection Module (optional)
indicates a drain is required.
Vacuum Side
Applications
1. Close inlet valve (or valve #1)
and open self-venting drain on
bottom of bowl.
2. Close drain after all water
and contaminants have been
evacuated. DO NOT leave
drain open too long as it will
eventually completely drain the
entire lter of water AND fuel.
3. Follow Priming Instructions.
Pressure Side
Applications
1. Open self-venting drain
on bottom of bowl. Head
pressure will push any water and
contaminants out of drain while
keeping lter primed.
2. Close drain after all water
and contaminants have been
evacuated. DO NOT leave
drain open too long as it will
eventually completely drain
entire lter of water AND fuel,
and possibly drain entire tank.
