Draining Water from Fuel FilterELS001JU
1. Prepare a tray (A) under the drain plug (1).
2. Loosen drain plug (1), and operate priming pump (2) to drain
water from fuel filter.
CAUTION:
lWater in filter is drained with fuel. Prepare larger capacity
pan than fuel filter volume.
lDrained water is mixed with fuel. Prevent fuel from adher-
ing to rubber parts such as engine mounting insulator.
3. Replace O-ring on drain plug with new one.
4. After draining, close drain plug to specified torque.
CAUTION:
If drain plug is tightened excessively, it may be damaged and fuel will leak.
5. Bleed air in fuel piping. Refer toFL-5, "

Engine oil capacity (Approximate):
Unit: (lmp qt)
CAUTION:
lWhen filling engine oil, do not pull out oil level gauge.
lThe refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.
lAlways use the oil level gauge to determine when the proper amount of engine oil is in the
engine.
7. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for oil leakage.
8. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
9. Check the engine oil level. Refer toLU-5, "
