4.Remove gas fill screen filter. Clean by blow drying air from outer sides to inside. Allow to dry completely and then re-install.

5.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.
