Fuel Tank

Draining The Fuel Tank
POTENTIAL HAZARD
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
•
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
•
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Drain gasoline from the fuel tank when the
engine is cold. Do this outdoors in an open
area. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
Never drain gasoline near an open flame or
•
where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a
spark.
Never smoke a cigarette, cigar or pipe.
•
1. Park the machine so that the left front side is
slightly lower than the right side to assure fuel
tank drains completely. Then disengage the blade
control (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn
the ignition key to "OFF" to stop the engine.
2. Open the hood.
3.
Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp together and
slide it up the fuel line toward the fuel tank
(Fig. 25).
4. Pull the fuel line off the filter (Fig. 25) and allow
gasoline to drain into a gas can or drain pan.
Note: Now is the best time to install a new
fuel filter because the fuel tank is
empty.
5. Install the fuel line onto the filter. Slide the hose
clamp close to the filter to secure the fuel line
and filter.
