Fuel Tank Removal (Fig. 32)

1.Park machine on a level surface, lower attachment, stop the engine, engage parking brake, and remove the key from the ignition switch.

2.Pivot seat up. Remove litter box (26) from the frame.

3.Disconnect and remove battery from the machine to prevent possible spillage of fuel on the battery (see Bat- tery Service in Chapter 5 – Electrical Systems).

DANGER

Gasoline is flammable. Use caution when storing or handling it. Do not drain fuel tank while the en- gine is running, or when the machine is in an en- closed area. Vapors may build up and be ignited by a spark or flame source many feet away. DO NOT SMOKE while draining the fuel tank to pre- vent the possibility of an explosion. Always drain fuel tank outside. Wipe up any spilled gasoline. Store gasoline in a clean, safety–approved con- tainer, and secure cap on the container. Keep gasoline in a cool, well ventilated place and nev- er in an enclosed area such as a hot storage shed. Since many children like the smell of gas, keep it out of their reach because the fumes are explosive and dangerous to inhale.

4.Drain fuel tank (2) as follows:

A.Close fuel shutoff valve (24).

B.Disconnect fuel hose (22) from the fuel filter (31). Use funnel and hose to drain the fuel into a suitable container for storage.

C.Drain fuel tank completely by opening the fuel shutoff valve. Close fuel shutoff valve when tank is drained.

5.Loosen hose clamp (7) and disconnect fuel hose (8) from the bottom of the fuel tank (2).

6.Remove four philips pan head screws (6) and flat washers (28) securing the fuel tank (2) to the fuel tank base (4).

7.Lift fuel tank (2) from fuel tank base (4). Make sure not to lose grommets (3).
