Fuel System
Fuel Filter:
The fuel filter is a spin on type and is located in the
engine compartment on the left side of the negine
mounted to a frame bracket.
Change the fuel filter every 400 operating hours.
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. C5000)
2 Close the fuel line shut off petcock located on the
lower right hand side of the fuel tank. (fig. C5642) This
will prevent fuel loss due to siphoning.
3 Remove the fuel filter (fig. C5643) using a filter
wrench. 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.
