New 1000 Serie » How to renew the canister of the quick release canister type

Caution: Discard used fuel filters and any spilt fuel in a safe place and in accordance with local regulations.

1. Thoroughly clean the outside surfaces of the filter assembly.
2. Loosen the drain device (A8), or (A6) if a pre-filter is fitted, at the bottom of the canister or sediment bowl (A5) and allow the water or fuel to drain into a suitable container.

Note: If the filter does not have a drain device fitted release the cap (A2) on top of the filter head. Remove the nylon insert to lower the level of the fuel in the filter canister. This will prevent fuel spill when the clamp ring (A7) is released.

3. Support the filter canister(s) (A4) and (A9) and rotate the clamp ring to the left (A1) and remove the clamp ring.
4. Remove the canister from the filter head by a direct pull downwards (A1), and discard the old canister.
5. If a sediment bowl is fitted, remove the bowl and thoroughly clean the cover of the bowl.
6. Check the two ’O’ ring seals of the sediment bowl for damage and renew them if necessary.
7. Clean the threads of the sediment bowl and fit the bowl to the canister and tighten by hand only.
8. Ensure the filter head is clean. Push the new canister fully into the filter head (A3).
9. Support the canister, fit the clamp ring and rotate it to the right (A3) to fasten the canister to the filter head.
10. If the nylon insert was removed to lower the fuel level in the filter, ensure that it is fitted correctly and fit the cap.
11. Eliminate the air from the fuel filter, refer to "How to eliminate air from the fuel system".
