7.1.3.2 Exchange fuel fine filter and prefilter at the engine
The fuel fine filter element (1) (ROPA item no. 303255) and the fuel prefilter ele-
ment (2) (ROPA item no. 303254) at the engine must be replaced after the first
500 operating hours, thereafter at least annually. When the warning icon appears
on the R-Touch, both filter inserts must be replaced.
ATTENTION
Danger of machine damage
Foreign objects, which ingress the fuel circuit, may cause blockages!
– In any case, make sure that no foreign objects ingress the filter housing.
– Do not wipe the inside of the filter housing.
– Avoid any ingress of water into the filter housing.
To exchange the fuel fine filter, proceed as follows:
– Park the vehicle and shut off engine.
– Shut off the fuel connection to the intermediate tank. Move the longer service lever
(4) on the fuel supply control block (5) 45° back to the SERVICE position. This pre-
vents fuel from entering the engine from the intermediate tank.
– Place a sufficiently large and fuel-resistant container to catch the fuel under the fil-
ter bowl and the drain hose (6).
– Move the handle of the 3-way valve (3) to the horizontal position (this allows the
contents of the filter bowl to flow into the collecting container).
