(or pre-filter) with water bowl and a final filter, or only a
final filter including water bowl. Both filters are replaced at
the same 500-hour interval.
CAUTION: Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Relieve pressure before disconnecting fuel or
other lines. Tighten all connections before
applying pressure. Keep hands and body away
from pinholes and nozzles which eject fluids
under high pressure. Use a piece of cardboard
or paper to search for leaks. Do not use your
hand.
If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this type injury or gangrene
may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of
injury may call the Deere & Company Medical
Department in Moline, Illinois, or other
knowledgeable medical source.
1. Close fuel shut-off valve, if equipped.

areas.
3. Disconnect water sensor wiring (if equipped).
4. Loosen drain plugs (C) and drain fuel into a suitable
container.
NOTE: Lifting up on retaining ring (A) as it is rotated
helps to get it past raised locators.
5. Firmly grasp the retaining ring (A) and rotate it
clockwise 1/4 turn (when viewed from the top).
Remove ring with filter element (B).
6. Inspect filter mounting base for cleanliness. Clean as
required.
