Installation Guide

Safety First: Shut off the fuel supply at the tank and disconnect the battery.

Locate Filter: Find the existing fuel filter along the fuel line between the fuel tank and the engine.

Prepare for Spillage: Place a rag or suitable container under the filter to catch any residual fuel.
-
Release Clamps: Loosen the hose clamps on both ends of the old filter.
-
Remove Old Filter: Carefully twist and pull the fuel hoses off the filter. Note the direction of the flow arrow on the old filter.
-
Install New Filter: Position the new filter with the arrow pointing in the direction of fuel flow (towards the engine).
-
Secure Hoses: Slide the fuel hoses onto the new filter's barbs and secure them tightly with the clamps.
-
Check Connections: Ensure both hoses are firmly attached and the clamps are secure.
-
Prime System: Turn the fuel supply back on and, if equipped, use the primer bulb to fill the filter with fuel.
