Package Contents
- 1 x Fuel Filter (16900-SA5-004)
Installation Guide
- Before starting, ensure the engine is off and cool.
- Locate the fuel filter in the fuel line, typically between the fuel tank and the engine.
- Place a suitable container or absorbent rag underneath the filter to catch any fuel spillage.
- Using pliers or a screwdriver, loosen the clamps securing the fuel hoses to both ends of the old filter.
- Carefully detach the fuel hoses from the filter. Expect a small amount of fuel to drain out.
- Examine the new filter for an arrow indicating the direction of fuel flow. This arrow must point towards the engine.
- Attach the inlet and outlet fuel hoses to the correct ends of the new filter.
- Securely tighten the hose clamps on both connections. Do not overtighten.
- Prime the fuel system according to your engine's service manual to fill the filter and purge any air.
- Thoroughly inspect the filter and hose connections for any signs of leaks.
- Start the engine and allow it to run for several minutes, continuing to check for leaks.
