How To Replace The Fuel Filter - Figure 9
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition
•
sources.
Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks.
•
Replace if necessary.
Before replacing the fuel filter, drain the fuel tank or close the fuel shut-off valve.
•
Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position as the
•
original parts.
If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
•
1. Before replacing the fuel filter (A, Figure 9), if equipped, drain the fuel tank or close
the fuel shut-off valve. Otherwise, fuel can leak out and cause a fire or explosion.
2. Use pliers to squeeze tabs (B) on the clamps (C), then slide the clamps away from
the fuel filter. Twist and pull the fuel lines (D) off of the fuel filter.
3. Check the fuel lines for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
4. Replace the fuel filter with an original equipment replacement filter.
5. Secure the fuel lines with the clamps as shown.
How To Check/Adjust The Fan Belt - Figure 10
Check Fan Belt
1. Check the condition of the fan belt (A, Figure 10). If the fan belt has cracks or is
damaged, replace with a new belt.
2. Check the tension (B) of the fan belt. Press on the center (C) of the fan belt. If
tension is correct, the belt will move 3/8 -- 1/2 in (10 -- 12 mm) if 22 lbs (10 kg) of
force is applied to the center of the belt. If the tension is too loose, adjust as follows.
Adjust Fan Belt Tension
1. Loosen the alternator mounting bolts (D) and (E). See Figure 10).
en
2. Position a pry bar (F) against the alternator (G) and the side of the engine block. To
tighten the fan belt, pull on the pry bar. Temporarily tighten the alternator mounting
bolts.
3. Check the tension of the fan belt. See Check Fan Belt section. If necessary, repeat
the procedure.
4. Tighten the alternator mounting bolts.
Torque bolt (D) to 14 ft-lbs (19 Nm).
Torque bolt (E) to 45 ft-lbs (61 Nm).
Storage
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank
Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have
•
pilot lights or other ignition sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum
deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh,
use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START
drip concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according
to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel
system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into
an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel
stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.
Engine Oil
While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.
