Fuel System Secondary Filter Number One - Replace
NOTICE
Do not fill fuel filters with fuel before installing them.
Contaminated fuel will cause accelerated wear to fuel
system parts.
Open the engine access door. The secondary fuel
filter is located on the right side of the machine.
Note: This machine is equipped with two secondary
spin-on filters on a single filter base. The upper
filter is upside-down. Always drain the inverted filter
before you remove either filter.

1. To drain upper filter (2) (inverted filter), place a
suitable container under the drain valves and
open drain valve (3). Then, immediately open
drain valve (4) and allow the fuel to drain into
the suitable container.
When the fuel stops draining, keep the drain
valves open and loosen upper filter (2) by a 1/4
turn. As the filter is loosened, additional fuel may
drain from the drain valves. Keep turning the
filter by 1/4 turns until fuel does not drain from
the drain valves. Then, close the drain valves
and 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.
2. Hand tighten the upper filter until the seal
contacts the filter base. Then, tighten upper filter
(2) by 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.
3. Remove lower filter (1).
Note: Lower filter (1) has not been drained. The filter
contains fuel. When you remove the lower filter, use
caution in order to avoid spilling the fuel.
4. Inspect the fuel filter element for debris by
cutting the filter open. Discard the used fuel filter
element properly.
5. Clean the filter mounting base. Make sure that
all of the used seal is removed from the filter
mounting base.

6. Apply a thin coat of clean diesel fuel to the
sealing surface of the new fuel filter element.
7. Install the new fuel filter element by hand. When
the seal contacts the filter base, tighten the fuel
filter element by an additional 3/4 turn. This will
tighten the fuel filter element sufficiently.
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.
8. Prime the fuel system.
Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance
Manual, “Fuel System - Prime” for the correct
procedure.
9. Close the engine access door.
