Fuel Filter

DANGER

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be highly explosive. To minimize danger:

•Use only an approved fuel container for gasoline.

•DO NOT allow open flames or sparks near the machine while performing main- tenance or refueling; DO NOT smoke while working with fuel.

•Wipe up spilled gasoline immediately and completely.

Model MC19 is equipped with an in-line fuel filter. Visually inspect the filter periodically, and replace the filter yearly.

IMPORTANT: Replace the fuel filter only in a clean area where the fuel line and connections will not be contaminated by any dust and dirt.

1.Expand and slide clamps on either side of the filter away from filter and pull fuel lines off filter.

2.Replace filter, making sure that the arrow on the filter is aligned with the fuel flow through the filter.

3.Verify that the fuel lines and clamps are secure- ly attached, and that no fuel leaks are present.

Blade Overload Shear Bolts

NOTE: Blade shear bolts are not used on belt driv- en decks.

On gear driven decks each cutting blade is keyed to a blade hub by two (2) shear bolts (10-24 x 5/8 in. stainless steel machine screws). These bolts are designed to shear and protect the blade drive gear- box from damage if the blade encounters a shock load.

Cutting Blade Shear Bolts

NOTE: Tightening the 5/8-18 blade mounting nut to 60 lb·ft (81 N·m) is also important for proper shock load protection. It is important to not over- tighten the mounting nut since this defeats (over- rides) the function of the shear bolts.

If these bolts shear, remove the blade and install new bolts. Refer to CHECKING/SERVICING in this section for Sharpen Mower Blades which de- scribes the blade removal and installation proce- dure.

After reinstalling the blade, check blade timing (on gear driven decks) by moving blades through one

(1)complete revolution. Make sure blade tips pass clear of each other. If timing is incorrect, contact your Walker dealer.
