FILLING THE FUEL T AHK
Do not smoke or use an oil lantern when
working around inflammable fuels. When pour-
ing fuel, keep the hose and nozzle or the funnel
and container in contact with the metal of the
fuel tank to avoid the possibility of an electric
spark igniting the fuel. Do not light matches
near inflammable fuels, as the air within a
radius of several feet is mixed with a highly
explosive vapor.
The fuel tank filler cap has air vents. See
Illust. SA. Keep these vents open at all times to
assure proper flow of the fuel.
AIR CLEANER OIL CUP
Illust.8
Filling the fuel tank. The air cleaner cap should be cleaned, and
the oil in the air cleaner oil cup should be
changed more frequently than every ten hours
of operation, if unusually dusty and dirty con-
ditions are encountered.
Fill the fuel tank, preferably at the end of
each day's work. This will force out any mois-
ture-laden air and prevent condensation.
Note: Do not fill the tank to its full capacity
as spa~e is required for vapor expansion in
the event of a temperature change. A tar.k
filled to capacity may overflow if exposed to a
rise in temperature or direct sunlight.
A Caution! Never remove the fuel tank cap
or fill the fuel tank when the e.'lgine is
running, is hot, or near an open flame.
