and can damage property.
Refer to Fuel Safety (page 14)
list of fuel related precautions.

Replacing the Fuel Filter

Service Interval: Every 500 hours/Yearly (whichever
comes first) (more often in dusty,
dirty conditions).
Important:
Install the fuel line hoses and secure

from components that can cause fuel line damage.
Never install a dirty filter after removing it from the
fuel line.
The fuel filter is located near the engine on the left
front of the engine.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch (PTO), and engage the

2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
