Servicing the Fuel Tank

Danger
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and others
and can damage property.
• 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 smoke when draining gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where a spark may
ignite the gasoline fumes.
Draining The Fuel Tank
1. Park the machine on a level surface, to assure fuel tank
drains completely. Then disengage the power take off
(PTO) and turn the ignition key to off. Remove the key.
2. Close fuel shut–off valve at fuel tank (Figure 27).
3. Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp together and slide it
up the fuel line away from valve (Figure 27).
4. Pull the fuel line off the valve (Figure 27). Open fuel
shut-off valve 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. Refer to Replacing the Fuel
Filter; page 25.
5. Install the fuel line onto the valve. Slide the hose clamp
close to the valve to secure the fuel line.
