• 913348 – Kubota fuel filter cartridge (compatible with VS 15.5 according to spare parts documentation).

Typical applications (nautical and onboard plant engineering)

This kit is intended for scheduled maintenance activities and service interventions on Mase generators installed onboard, where it is useful to have the most common spare parts available for:

• replacement of filters during servicing;
• restoration and inspection of the seawater cooling circuit (impeller/seawater pump);
• checks and replacements related to the service transmission (belt), when required by the intervention;
• management of consumables and components subject to wear in routine maintenance contexts.

Operational advantages

• Convenience in spare parts management: a single set helps organize the intervention and reduce the risk of forgetting typical service components.
• Consistency with the application: kit dedicated to models VS 15.5 and VS 17.5 LOW, with spare part references reported in documentation.
• Support for periodic maintenance: designed for the replacement of the main service elements related to filtration and cooling.
• Suitable onboard and in the workshop: useful for both boat owners and technicians, during work preparation or spare parts stock.

Usage and important notes

The kit is intended for periodic interventions on the generator set and allows the replacement of the main components subject to wear of the engine and cooling circuit, helping to keep the generator efficient according to the prescribed procedures.

• Model verification: before ordering, check that the generator is actually VS 15.5 o VS 17.5 LOW.
• Comparison with manual: follow the manufacturer's instructions for frequency, procedures, and related checks (e.g., tightening, seals, bleeding).
• Component check: upon receipt, verify the correspondence of the kit components with what is required by the scheduled intervention.
• Installation: for operations on the fuel and cooling circuit, it is advisable to have qualified personnel perform them.
