Fuel Tank Removal (Fig. 17)
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower the cutting
units, stop the engine, engage parking brake, and re-
move the key from the ignition switch.
Because gasoline is inflammable, caution
must be used when storing or handling it.
Do not drain fuel tank while the engine is
running, hot, or when the machine is in an
enclosed area. Vapors may build up and be
ignited by a spark or flame source many feet
away. DO NOT SMOKE while draining the
fuel tank to prevent the possibility of an ex-
plosion. Always drain fuel tank outside.
Wipe up any spilled gasoline. Store gasoline
in a clean, safety–approved container, and
secure cap on the container. Keep gasoline
in a cool, well–ventilated place and never in
an enclosed area such as a hot storage
shed. Since many children like the smell of
gas, keep it out of their reach because the
fumes are explosive and dangerous to in-
hale.
2. Drain fuel tank (2) as follows:
A. Close fuel shut–off valve (9) below the fuel tank.
B. Separate hose (12) from the frame by removing
cap screw (6) and R–clamp (20) from the frame and
hose.
C. Disconnect fuel hose (12) from the fuel filter (11).
Use funnel and hose to drain the fuel tank into a suit-
able container for storage.
D. Drain fuel tank completely by opening the fuel
shut off valve. Close fuel shutoff valve when tank is
drained.
3. Gain access to the fasteners securing the fuel tank
(2) to the mounting plate (13) as follows:
A. Remove three cap screws (6) and two flat wash-
ers (14) securing mounting plate to the frame and
support bracket (27).
B. Lift and support the mounting plate up from the
rear of the machine.
4. Loosen hose clamp (10) and disconnect fuel hose
(18) from fuel tank (2).
5. Remove three cap screws (16) and flat washers (4)
securing the fuel tank (2) to the mounting plate (13). Re-
move the tank from the mounting plate.
