between the fuel tank and fuel pump.
If filter is dirty or clogged, replace as follows:
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Place a container below the filter to catch spilled fuel.
3. Using a pliers, open and slide hose clamps from fuel filter.
4. Remove hoses from filter.
5. Install new filter in proper flow direction in fuel line.
6. Secure with hose clamps.

1. Warm engine by running for a few minutes. (Refer to the
engine operator’s manual for oil and filter replacement
instructions.)
2. Remove the oil drain hose (C) from its storage position
and route the hose so that when the oil drain cap is
removed the oil can be drained into a suitable container.

catch the oil. Using the appropriate tools, remove the oil
drain cap from the oil drain hose and drain the engine oil.

oil. Install the oil drain hose to its storage position so it is
retained during normal operation.

(D). Remove the engine oil filter and replace with a new
one.
6. Add engine oil (refer to engine operator’s manual) in the
fill tube (E) and check the amount of oil in the engine
using the engine oil dipstick (F).
