Countax manual C Series Garden Tractor - Fuel, FILLING THE TANK - Fig, Fuel Filter, P a g e

The fuel tank is situated under the bonnet beneath the dashboard of your tractor (fig 43). Great care must be exercised when dealing with petrol, so use common sense at all times.

•Extinguish ALL naked flames and sources of ignition.

•Switch off the engine at the ignition and remove the key.

•If the tractor has been running, allow the engine to cool before attempting to refuel.

•Refuel in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors.

•Keep fuel in a clean, purpose made container and make sure that no water or other foreign substances can mix with the petrol.

•Wear protective gloves.

•Always fill using a funnel with a mesh strainer.

FILLING THE TANK - Fig 43

1.Clean around the cap of the fuel tank before filling.

2.Fill with new unleaded petrol from a CLEAN container.

3.Use a clean funnel, preferably with a filter.

4.We recommend the use of Countax Fuel Additive, particularly if the fuel is to be left for more than a couple of weeks.

FUEL FILTER - Fig 45 & 46

If you suspect that fuel is not getting through to the engine, first check that the outlet in the fuel tank is not blocked. Then remove the hose from the carburettor side of the ‘in- line’ fuel filter (having first ensured that you have a container into which fuel flow can be directed). If the fuel flows, the filter is probably ok. If it is more than a year-old it is sensible to replace it (consult your dealer).

If fuel is passing the in-line filter, it is likely that fuel is not your problem. If the carburettor is the problem, it is only serviceable by your dealer.
