Fuel Filter
WARNING
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive. Fire or
explosion can cause severe burns or death.
•
Keep gasoline 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 as per the instructions
below.
•
Do not drain fuel when the engine is hot. Allow the engine adequate time to
cool. Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away from open flame.
•
Drain any large volume of fuel from the tank by disconnecting the fuel line
from the in-line fuel filter near the engine.
•
Remove the fuel line from the ln-line side (side towards the fuel tank) of the
fuel filter.
•
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.
•
Before replacing the fuel filter, drain the fuel tank. Otherwise, fuel can leak
out and cause a fire or explosion.
To Drain the fuel:
1.
Locate the fuel filter, which is routed on the left side of the engine between
the fuel tank and the carburetor, and may be attached to the engine with a tie
strap. Cut the tie strap, if present, then pinch the in-line clamp on the fuel filter
with a pair of pliers, slide the clamp up the fuel line. Pull the fuel line free from
the filter and place the open end of the line into an approved container to drain
the fuel.
To change the fuel filter:
1.
Use pliers to squeeze the tabs on the other clamp (the out-line side of the
fuel filter), then slide the clamp away from the fuel filter. Twist and pull the
fuel line off of the fuel filter. See Figure 12.
