Checking the Fuel Filter

Should water or sediment deposits have settled in filter, proceed as follows:

1. Loosen drain screw (A) and bleed screw (B).

2. Retighten both screws as soon as water and sediment deposits have drained out.

3. Turn key in main switch to the right as far as the first switch position so that the fuel transfer pump is operating. Keep the pump running for approx. 20 seconds.

If water was present in fuel filter, then use a 1/2-inch square-section key to slacken off the drain screw (C) under the fuel tank by one turn. After draining off any water deposits, retighten drain screws until they are hand-tight.

NOTE: Depending on engine type, one or two fuel filters may be equipped.
