is nearly empty.
Remove the rear cover and
move the fuel valve to ON
(page 14). Locate the
carburetor near the lower
right side of the engine.
There are two bolts on the
round carburetor bowl.
The angled screw is used
for fuel draining, while the
other is to remove the
bowl itself.
Drain any remaining fuel
from the riding mower into
an approved container by
removing the angled
carburetor drain bolt.
Locate the fuel supply line
between the carburetor
and fuel tank. Loosen the
hose clamp where the fuel
supply line connects to the
fuel tank and disconnect
the fuel line from the tank.
The fuel filter is a white plastic piece inside the fuel line. The
filter partially sticks out of the fuel line. Note how the fuel
filter is installed when you remove it from the fuel line.
Install a new fuel filter into the fuel line.
Dispose of the old filter and any spilled fuel properly.
