Replacement Procedure (Service Only With Part No. 6667352)

1. Preparation: Ensure the engine is off and cool. Locate the fuel filter housing. Place a drain pan underneath to catch any spilled fuel.
2. Drain Filter: Carefully open the drain valve or plug on the bottom of the filter to drain the fuel into the pan. (Refer to Figure 2, step 1: "DRAIN FILTER DAILY" icon).
3. Remove Old Filter: Unscrew the old fuel filter from its housing. Be prepared for residual fuel to spill. (Refer to Figure 2, step 2: filter removal icon).
4. Clean Housing: Clean the filter housing and sealing surface thoroughly to remove any debris.
5. Lubricate Gasket: Apply a thin film of clean diesel fuel or engine oil to the new filter's gasket. (Refer to Figure 2, step 3: gasket lubrication icon).
6. Install New Filter: Screw the new filter onto the housing until the gasket makes contact. Then, tighten it an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn by hand, or as specified by your machine's manual. Do not overtighten. (Refer to Figure 2, step 4: filter installation icon).
7. Fill Filter: If applicable, pre-fill the new filter with clean fuel before installation to aid in priming the system.
8. Prime System: After installation, prime the fuel system according to your Bobcat machine's manual to remove any air. This usually involves cycling the ignition or using a hand primer pump. (Refer to Figure 2, step 5: priming icon).
9. Check for Leaks: Start the engine and check for any fuel leaks around the new filter. Run the engine for a few minutes to ensure proper operation. (Refer to Figure 2, step 6: engine running/check icon).

Operating Principles

The fuel filter operates by trapping contaminants present in the fuel before they reach the engine's fuel injection system. Fuel enters the filter, passes through a specialized filtration medium, and then exits as clean fuel. This process is continuous during engine operation. A clean fuel filter is essential for maintaining proper fuel flow, engine power, and preventing damage to fuel injectors and pumps.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your fuel filter is crucial for the health of your Bobcat machinery. A clogged fuel filter can lead to reduced engine performance, difficulty starting, and potential damage to the fuel system.

Recommended Maintenance Schedule:

• Daily: Drain any accumulated water or sediment from the fuel filter's water separator (if equipped). This is indicated by the "DRAIN FILTER DAILY" instruction on the filter itself (see Figure 2).
• Regular Intervals: Replace the fuel filter at the intervals recommended in your Bobcat machine's operator's manual. This typically ranges from 250 to 500 operating hours, or annually, whichever comes first.
• As Needed: Replace the filter immediately if you notice signs of fuel starvation, reduced engine power, or excessive black smoke from the exhaust, as these can indicate a clogged filter.

Always use genuine or high-quality aftermarket replacement filters like the Notonmek Part Number 6667352 to ensure proper fit and filtration efficiency.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues related to fuel delivery, the fuel filter is often a primary suspect. Here are some common problems and potential solutions:

If these steps do not resolve the issue, consult a qualified mechanic or your Bobcat service center.
