Fuel Tanks

The unit has two fuel tanks, located on the left and right
sides. Each tank connects to the fuel shut off valve in the
control panel. From there a common fuel line leads to the
engine (Fig. 21).
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 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.
