Filling the Fuel Tank

Note: Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Fill the fuel
tank to the bottom of the filler neck. The empty space in the
tank allows the gasoline to expand.

2. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove the cap.
Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck. This
space in the tank allows the fuel to expand. Do not fill
the fuel tank completely full.
3. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any fuel that
may have spilled.
4. If possible, fill the fuel tank after each use. This will
minimize possible buildup of condensation inside the
fuel tank.

Checking the Engine Oil Level

Before you start the engine and use the machine,
check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to
Checking the Engine Oil Level (page 33).

Switching the Fuel Tanks

Important: Do not run the machine out of fuel.
The fuel selector valve is located behind the left side of the
seat.
The unit has two fuel tanks. One tank is on the left side and
one on the right side. Each tank connects to the fuel selector
valve. From there a common fuel line leads to the engine
(Figure 7).
To use the left side fuel tank rotate the fuel selector valve
to the LH, lefthand location. To use the right side fuel tank
rotate the fuel selector valve to the RH, righthand location
(Figure 7)
Close the fuel selector valve before transporting or storing
machine.
