       Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep
       area clean and dry.

       Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is
       moving. Keep hands, feet , and clothing from
       power-driven parts. Disengage all power and operate
       controls to relieve pressure. Lower equipment to the
       ground. Stop the engine. Remove the key. Allow machine
       to cool.

       Securely support any machine elements that must be
       raised for service work.

       Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix
       damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts.
       Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.

       On self-propelled equipment, disconnect battery ground
       cable (-) before making adjustments on electrical systems

       Understand Signal Words

       A signal word—DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION—is
       used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the
       most serious hazards.

       DANGER or WARNING safety signs are located near
                                                                                                                         –19–30SEP88

Electronic Fuel System Repair and Adjustments


 NOTE: The proper installation is indicated when a "click"
       is heard and a release of the retaining ring is felt.

         A plug is provided with the new element for
         plugging the used element.
                                                                                                                               02

 11. Install water separator bowl on primary fuel filter and                                                                   11
     tighten ring.

 12. Turn fuel lubricating dosing element (C) using a
     suitable filter or strap wrench to remove. Discard the
     element.

 NOTE: New fuel lubricating dosing element canister
       should come around 3/4 full of lubricating additive.
       Be sure that when removing cap, the canister is
       held right side up so as not to spill the fluid.

 13. Remove cap from new fuel lubricating dosing element
     canister.

 14. Wipe the sealing surfaces of the header with a clean
     rag.

 15. Install and tighten fuel lubricating dosing element by
     hand until firmly against the header. Apply an extra
     3/4 turn after gasket contact is made.

 16. Reconnect water in fuel sensor wiring.

 17. Open fuel shut-off valve, if equipped.

 NOTE: The electric fuel transfer (lift) pump (E) and
       constant air bleed (F) enables the fuel system to
       self prime.

 18. Key on for 30 seconds to prime fuel system, then
     start engine and check for possible leaks.
