  1. Ensure that fuel filter base (6) is clean and free from damage. If necessary, replace the complete fuel filter base and filter assembly.

  2. If necessary, follow Step 2.a through Step 2.c in order to install differential pressure switch (9) to fuel filter base (6).

    1. Install a new O-ring seal (10) (not shown) to the differential pressure switch.

    2. Install differential pressure switch (9) to fuel filter base (6).

    3. Tighten differential pressure switch (9) to a torque of 20 N·m (177 lb in).

  3. Position fuel filter base (6) on the mounting bracket. Install bolts (5). Tighten the bolts to a torque of 44 N·m (32 lb ft).

  4. If necessary, install new fuel filters (7) to canisters (8). Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel System Secondary Filter - Replace" for the correct procedure.

  5. Remove the plugs from the plastic tube assemblies. Remove the caps from the ports in the fuel filter base.


    NOTICE

    Ensure that the plastic tube assemblies are installed in the original positions. Failure to connect the plastic tube assemblies to the correct ports will allow contamination to enter the fuel system. Serious damage to the engine will result if contaminated fuel enters the fuel system.


  6. Connect plastic tube assembly (2), plastic tube assembly (3), and plastic tube assembly (4) to fuel filter base (6).

  7. Connect the OEM harness assembly to harness assembly (1) for the differential pressure switch.

  8. Turn the fuel supply to the ON position.

  9. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the ON position.
