2. Hold the bottom cover of the filter element and release the setscrew (A3) which is fitted through the filter head (A1) above the centre of the element.
3. Lower the bottom cover of the filter.
4. Remove the element (A4) and discard it.
5. Clean the inside surfaces of the filter head and of the cover.
6. Renew the seals (A2) and (A5) and lightly lubricate them with clean fuel.
7. Put the bottom cover under the new element and hold the element squarely to the filter head. Ensure that the element is fitted in the centre against the joint in the filter head. With the assembly in this position, engage and tighten the setscrew.
