Unscrew the filter car-
tridge.

Oil the new filter car-
tridge using the same
oil as that used in the
engine.
•
Screw the new car-
tridge on by hand.
•
On starting the engine,
check for leaks around
the cartridge seals.
•
Check the engine oil
level.
Cleaning and replacement of the fuel filter
Water and other deposits that accumulate in the fuel filter can make
engine starting difficult. Replace the fuel filter every 400 work hours.
Bleeding air from the fuel system
This operation must be carried out when air has entered the fuel circuits as
a result of the disassembly of fuel system components, running out of fuel
or leaks around fuel line fittings.
When air is in the fuel system, the engine either fails to start completely or
stops once it has started.

NOTE: Before mounting the preliminary or fine fuel filter, ensure that it is
filled with diesel fuel.
