Installation Guide

1. Before starting, ensure the engine is off and cool.
2. Locate the fuel filter in the fuel line, typically between the fuel tank and the engine.
3. Place a suitable container or absorbent rag underneath the filter to catch any fuel spillage.
4. Using pliers or a screwdriver, loosen the clamps securing the fuel hoses to both ends of the old filter.
5. Carefully detach the fuel hoses from the filter. Expect a small amount of fuel to drain out.
6. Examine the new filter for an arrow indicating the direction of fuel flow. This arrow must point towards the engine.
7. Attach the inlet and outlet fuel hoses to the correct ends of the new filter.
8. Securely tighten the hose clamps on both connections. Do not overtighten.
9. Prime the fuel system according to your engine's service manual to fill the filter and purge any air.
10. Thoroughly inspect the filter and hose connections for any signs of leaks.
11. Start the engine and allow it to run for several minutes, continuing to check for leaks.
