Fuel System
Fuel Filter:
The fuel filter is a spin on type on the inner side of the
oil tank attached to a bracket and is located in the engine
compartment on the engine mounting bracket. Change
the fuel filter every 400 operating hours.
Loader S / N’s LE008500 ~ 8799 have the filter mounted
to the left hand side of the engine. S / N’s LE008800
onward are mounted to the right hand side of the engine.
To change the fuel filter: Park the loader on a level sur-
face, lower the boom arms, engage the parking brake
and shut off the engine.
1 Access the engine compartment by opening the rear
door and lifting the engine cover. (fig. C3610)
2 Close the fuel line shut off petcock located on the
lower right hand side of the fuel tank. (fig. C3615) This
will prevent fuel loss due to siphoning.
3 Remove the fuel filter using a filter wrench. (fig.
C3616) Check to make sure the fuel filter O-ring seal
has not stuck to the filter adapter mount.
4 Lubricate the new fuel filter O-ring seal with light
oil. Tighten the filter to the adapter mount hand tight.
5 Open the fuel line shut off petcock.
