Preparing Your Tractor For
· Each rl'ay's Work
Fuel System
Fill the fuel tank (capacity
7½
gals.) with a good
grade of clei\n gasoline, preferably at the end of each
day's ~n. This will force out any moisture-laden
air and prevent condensation in the fuel tank.
Safety First!
Never fill the fuel tank when
the engine is running or when near an open flame;
do not smoke or use an oil lantern when working
around inflammable fuels. When pouring fuel, keep
the funnel and container in contact with the metal
of the fuel tank (I/lust. 7) to avoid the possibility of
an electric spark igniting the gas. Do not light
matches near gasoline, as the air within a radius of
several feet is mixed with a highly explosive vapor.
