!
WARNING
Fuel is flammable and explosive. Ensure that the key switch is off and the
lanyard is positioned so that the engine cannot start. Do not smoke or allow
sources of spark or open flame in the area while servicing. Keep the work
area well ventilated and avoid prolonged exposure to vapors. Always check
for leaks before attempting to start the engine, and wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately.
Before servicing any part of the fuel system, stop the engine and disconnect
the battery. Drain the fuel system completely. Use an approved container to
collect and store fuel. Wipe up any spillage immediately. Material used to
contain spillage must be disposed of in an approved receptacle. Any fuel
system service must be performed in a well‑ventilated area. Inspect any
completed service work for sign of fuel leakage.
FUEL LINE INSPECTION
Visually inspect the fuel line and primer bulb for cracks, swelling, leaks,
hardness, or other signs of deterioration or damage. If any of these conditions
are found, the fuel line or primer bulb must be replaced.
CLEANING THE FUEL FILTERS AND THE FUEL TANK
The fuel filter is located between the fuel valve and the fuel pump.
