This section outlines the general procedure for replacing the AirDog fuel filter and water separator. Always refer to your specific AirDog system's manual for detailed, model-specific instructions and safety precautions.

Мере предострожности:

• Уверите се да је возило искључено и да је мотор хладан.
• Носите одговарајућу личну заштитну опрему, укључујући рукавице и заштиту за очи.
• Have a suitable container ready to catch any spilled diesel fuel.
• Радите у добро проветреном простору.

Процедура:

1. Locate Filters: Identify the existing AirDog fuel filter (FF100-2 equivalent) and water separator (WS100 equivalent) on your vehicle's fuel system. These are typically mounted on the frame rail.
2. Prepare for Drainage: Place a drain pan or suitable container directly beneath the filters to collect diesel fuel.
3. Уклоните старе филтере:
   • Carefully loosen and remove the old water separator (WS100) first. Expect some fuel to drain.
   • Next, loosen and remove the old fuel filter (FF100-2).
   • Dispose of the old filters and drained fuel according to local environmental regulations.
4. Инсталирајте нове филтере:
   • Ensure the new filters are clean and free of debris.
   • Apply a thin film of clean diesel fuel to the new filter gaskets to ensure a proper seal.
   • Thread the new water separator (WS100) onto its housing. Hand-tighten until snug, then use a filter wrench to tighten an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn, or as specified by your AirDog system manual.
   • Thread the new fuel filter (FF100-2) onto its housing. Hand-tighten until snug, then use a filter wrench to tighten an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn, or as specified by your AirDog system manual.
5. Напуните систем за гориво:
   • After installing new filters, the fuel system must be primed to remove air.
   • Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position (without starting the engine) for approximately 30 seconds. This activates the fuel pump to fill the filters.
   • Repeat this "ON" cycle several times until the fuel pump's sound changes, indicating that the filters are full and the system is primed.
   • Check for any leaks around the newly installed filters.
6. Покрени мотор: Once the system is primed and no leaks are detected, start the engine. Allow it to idle for a few minutes and re-check for leaks.
