The Secondary Fuel Filter Has Been Replaced
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or electrical components can cause a fire. To help prevent possible injury, turn the start switch off when changing fuel filters or water separator elements. Clean up fuel spills immediately. |

Use a suitable container to catch any fuel that might spill. Clean up any spilled fuel immediately. |
NOTICE |

Do not allow dirt to enter the fuel system. Thoroughly clean the area around a fuel system component that will be disconnected. Fit a suitable cover over disconnected fuel system component. |
Note: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel System Secondary Filter - Replace" for information on replacing the filter.
- Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.

NOTICE Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking the engine again.
- Start the engine. The engine should start and the engine should run smoothly.
Note: You may use the hand priming pump for the fuel filter (IF EQUIPPED) instead of starting engine and running the engine.
- While the engine is running, observe air purge screw (1). When a small drop of fuel appears at the threads of the air purge screw, close and tighten air purge screw (1).
Note: There may be a noticeable change in the sound of the running engine when the air purge screw is tightened. The change in the sound of the engine is normal.
Note: Failure to tighten all fittings could result in serious fuel leaks.
- Clean any residual fuel from the engine components.
