Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface, the engine is cool, and the ignition is off.
2. Locate the Filter: The WK 845/1 is typically positioned along the fuel line between the fuel tank and the engine. Refer to the vehicle’s service manual for exact location.
3. Disconnect Fuel Line: Carefully relieve any pressure in the system by opening a small valve or using a vacuum pump, then disconnect the old filter from the fuel line.
4. Remove Old Filter: Unscrew the mounting flange and remove the old filter. Dispose of it according to local regulations.
5. Install New Filter: Align the new WK 845/1 with the mounting flange, tighten securely but avoid over‑tightening to prevent damage.
6. Reconnect Fuel Line: Attach the fuel line to the filter’s inlet and outlet ports. Ensure all connections are tight and leak‑free.
7. Test: Start the engine and check for any leaks or abnormal noises. Verify that the vehicle operates normally.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the filter during routine maintenance checks, especially if the vehicle is used in dusty or harsh environments.
