Fuel Tanks
The unit has two fuel tanks, one located on the left side
and on the right side. Each tank connects to the fuel shut
off valve in the control panel. From there a common fuel
line leads to the engine (Fig. 22).
To use the right side fuel tank rotate the fuel shut off valve
1/4 turn to the right from the off location. This uses fuel
from the right side tank only. When the right hand fuel
tank is empty, move the fuel shut off valve 1/4 turn to the
left from the off position.
Close fuel shut off valve, on front panel before
transporting or storing machine.
