Drain secondary fuel filter (4). Place a suitable container under the drain valves. Open rear drain valve (5) first. Then, immediately open drain valve (6). Drain the fuel into a suitable container. When the fuel stops draining, keep the drain valves open. Loosen the inverted filter for 1/4 turn. As the filter is loosened, additional fuel may drain from the drain valves. When the fuel stops draining, loosen the filter for an additional 1/4 turn. Observe the flow of the fuel. Repeat this procedure until fuel does not drain from the drain valves. Close the drain valves. Properly dispose of the fuel.Note: Make sure that the drain valves are opened in the proper order. If you open the wrong drain valve first, an air lock in the fuel system may occur. This will not allow fuel to drain from the upper filter.
If maintenance is required, remove the filter.
Clean filter mounting base (7). Make sure that the old seal is removed.
Coat the seal of the new filter with clean diesel fuel.
Install new dry filter (4). Hand tighten the filter. When the seal of the filter contacts the base, tighten the filter for an additional 3/4 turn.Rotation index marks are positioned on the filter at 90 degree intervals. Use these rotation index marks as a guide when you tighten the filter.
Open fuel tank supply valve (1). Open the return valve (2) for the fuel tank .
Prime the fuel system. When you are priming the fuel system, open drain valve (6) in order to allow air to escape.
In order to unlock the priming pump plunger, turn the handle of the priming pump counterclockwise. Operate the priming pump
