Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Turn off the engine and allow it to cool completely. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and shut off the fuel supply valve.
2. Prepare for Spills: Place a suitable container or absorbent rag under the old filter to catch any residual fuel.
3. Disconnect Fuel Lines: Carefully loosen the clamps holding the fuel lines onto the barb fittings of the old filter.
4. Remove Old Filter: Gently twist and pull the fuel lines off the old filter. Remove the filter from its mounting location.
5. Check Flow Direction: Note the fuel flow arrow indicated on the new filter. It must point toward the engine.
6. Install New Filter: Position the new filter correctly and slide the inlet and outlet fuel lines onto the barb fittings.
7. Secure Clamps: Move the clamps into position over the barb connections and tighten them securely.
8. Inspect for Leaks: Turn the fuel supply back on. Prime the fuel system according to your engine's service manual and carefully inspect for any leaks around the connections.
9. Test Operation: Once you've confirmed there are no leaks, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to ensure fuel is flowing correctly.
