Fuel Filter Replacement (if equipped)

WARNING! To prevent serious injury from fire:

Replace the fuel filter in a well-ventilated area away from igni- tion sources. Do not smoke.

1.Wait for engine to cool completely before proceeding.

2.Wear protective gear including, ANSI- approved safety goggles, NIOSH- approved dust mask/respirator, and nitrile gloves.

3.Close fuel valve leading from gas tank completely.

4.Take note of the fuel filter’s orienta- tion.

5.Place a suitable container under the fuel filter.

6.Disconnect the fuel lines leading to and from the fuel filter and allow fuel to drain onto the container.

7.Install new fuel filter in the same orientation. Make sure to properly secure both fuel lines.

8.Clean up and properly dispose of all fuel.

9.Wait for at least one hour before use to allow all residual fuel vapors to dissipate. To prevent fire, do not start the engine while the smell of fuel hangs in the air. Remember to open the fuel valve before restarting the engine. It may take a little longer than usual to start the engine be- cause the fuel needs to refill the fuel line and new filter.
