Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow these inspection, maintenance and service instructions may cause personal injury or death.
Ensure that all adjustments and repairs that are carried out to the fuel system are performed by authorized personnel that have the correct training.Before beginning ANY work on the fuel system, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "General Hazard Information and High Pressure Fuel Lines" for safety information. Refer to System Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Cleanliness of Fuel System Components" for detailed information on the standards of cleanliness that must be observed during ALL work on the fuel system.
Turn the fuel supply to the OFF position.
Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position.
If necessary, remove fuel filter base. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Fuel Filter Base - Remove and Install" for the correct procedure.
If necessary, remove crankcase breather canister filter. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Crankcase Breather Element - Replace" for the correct procedure.
