Regular Maintenance

CHECK TIRE PRESSURES

Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained at the levels shown in the chart. Note that these pressures may differ slightly from the “Max Inflation” stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown provide proper traction, improve cut quality, and extend tire life.

ADDING FUEL

To add fuel:

1.Stop the engine and allow to cool for at least 3 minutes.

2.Remove the fuel cap (see A, Figure 24).

3.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.

4. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.

FUEL FILTER

The fuel filter is located in the fuel line between the fuel tank and fuel pump. If the 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 pliers, open and slide the hose clamps from the fuel filter (C, Figure 24).

4.Remove the hoses from the filter.

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

6.Secure with the hose clamps.

7.Reconnect the negative battery cable when finished.

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.
