Cleaning Inside the Fuel Tank
If necessary, drain the fuel inside the fuel tank completely.
Using a spray washer (Figure 68) wash out any deposits
or debris that have accumulated inside the fuel tank.

FUEL TANK INSPECTION
In addition to cleaning the fuel tank, the following
components should be inspected for wear:
„ Rubber Suspension — Look for signs of wear or
deformity due to contact with oil. Replace the rubber
suspension if necessary.
„ Fuel Hoses — Inspect nylon and rubber hoses for signs
of wear, deterioration or hardening.
„ Fuel Tank Lining — Inspect the fuel tank lining for signs
of excessive amounts of oil or other foreign matter.
DRIVE BELT (DAILY)
Drive Belt Tension
A slack drive belt (Figure 69) may contribute to overheating,
or to insufficient charging of the battery. Adjust the drive
belt in accordance with the John Deere Operator's manual.

Drive Belt Inspection
Inspect the drive belt (Figure 70) for damage and wear.
Horizontal cracks (across the belt) are acceptable. Vertical
(direction of belt ribs) cracks that intersect with horizontal
cracks are not acceptable.
Also, examine the belt and determine if it is oil soaked or
"glazed " (a hard shiny appearance on the sides of the belt).
Either of these two conditions can cause the belt to run hot,
which can weaken it and increase the danger of it breaking.
If the drive belt exhibits any of the above wear conditions,
replace the drive belt immediately.
