Maintenance
DANGER
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion
from gasoline can burn you and others and can
damage property.
• Perform any fuel related maintenance when the
engine is cold. Do this outdoors in an open area.
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
• Never smoke when draining gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where a spark may
ignite the gasoline fumes.
Replacing the Fuel Filter
Service Interval: Every 100 hours/Yearly (whichever
comes first) (more often under dusty,
dirty conditions).
