FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE
,&
CAUTION: Fuel vapors are
explosive and flammable. Do not
smoke while handling fuel. Keep
fuel away from flames or sparks.
Shut off engine before servicing.
Always work in a well-ventilated
area. Clean up spilled fuel
immediately.
Be sure the engine is stopped, the
steering control levers are in the
park position and the key is
removed before making these
repairs.
Be sure to inspect the fuel lines
periodically. The lines are subject
to deterioration and wear. Fuel
could leak out onto a running
engine and cause a fire.
WARNING: Improper use of
solvents can result in fire or
explosion. Do not use gasoline or
low flash point solvents to clean
the fuel filter and/or the fuel pump.
Clean only in a well-ventilated
area away from sources of sparks
or flame, including any appliances
with a pilot light.
IMPORTANT: Special care should be taken
when the fuel lines are removed for
maintenance or repair. Close both ends of the
fuel line with a piece of paper or a clean cloth
to prevent dust or dirt particles from
contaminating the fuel. Even a small amount
of dust or dirt can cause premature wear or
failure of fuel components.
The fuel line connections are composed of
rubber and they will age regardless of the
service period. If there is any deterioration of
the fuel lines or clamps, replace them.
Check the fuel filter regularly. If it is clogged
by debris or contaminated with water, replace
it.
The fuel filter cannot be disassembled. If the
fuel filter becomes clogged, replace it with a
new one.
1. Park the machine safely in a well-
ventilated area.
2. Allow to cool.
3. Compress hose with clamp between
tank and filter. Use care not to damage
or puncture hose.
4. Disconnect the hose clamps (1) from the
fuel filter (see figure 25).

fuel filter (2).
6. Install the new fuel filter paying close
attention to the flow direction (3) noted
