CHECKING / ADDING FUEL

To add fuel:

1.Remove the fuel cap (see A, Figure 11).

2.Fill the tank to the bottom of the filler neck. This will allow for fuel expansion.

NOTE: Do not overfill. Refer to your engine manual for specific fuel recommendations.

3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.

FUEL FILTER

The fuel filter is located in the fuel line between fuel tank and carburetor, near the fuel pump. If filter is dirty or clogged, replace as follows:

1.Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2.Place a container below the filter to catch spilled fuel.

3.Using a pliers, open and slide hose clamps from fuel filter.

4.Remove hoses from filter.

5.Install new filter in proper flow direction in fuel line.

6.Secure with hose clamps.

7.Reconnect the negative battery cable when finished.

INSPECT MUFFLER AND SPARK ARRESTER

Inspect the muffler for cracks, corrosion, or other damage. Remove the spark arrester, if equipped, and inspect for damage or carbon blockage. If replacement parts are required, make sure to use only original equipment replacement parts.

WARNING

Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position as the original parts or fire could result.

Regular Maintenance

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not allow open flame, smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills. Do not remove fuel filter when engine is hot, as spilled gasoline may ignite. DO NOT spread hose clamps further than necessary. Ensure clamps grip hoses firmly over filter after installation.

Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL, gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, gasoline additives, premium gasoline, or white gas because engine/fuel system damage could result.
