8 If you have any question about properly
doing this procedure, consult your
Yamaha dealer.

away from sparks, cigarettes, flames or
other sources of ignition.

spill. Catch fuel in a rag. Wipe up any
spilled fuel immediately.

carefully with O-ring, filter cup, and
hoses in place. Improper assembly can
result in a fuel leak, which could result
in a fire or explosion hazard.
To clean the fuel filter:
1) Remove the nut holding the fuel filter
assembly if equipped.
2) Unscrew the filter cup, catching any
spilled fuel in a rag.
3) Remove the filter element, and wash
it in solvent.
Allow it to dry. Inspect the filter ele-
ment and O-ring to make sure they
are in good condition. Replace them if
necessary.
