DANGER
Because diesel fuel is highly flammable, use cau-
tion when storing or handling it. Do not smoke
while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill fuel tank
while engine is running or hot, or when machine
is in an enclosed area. Always fill fuel tank out-
side and wipe up any spilled diesel fuel before
starting the engine. Store fuel in a clean, safety- -
approved container and keep cap in place. Use
diesel fuel for the engine only; not for any other
purpose.
Check Fuel Lines and Connections
Check fuel lines and connections every 400 hours or
yearly, whichever comes first.
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine, engage parking brake, and remove key
from the ignition switch. Unlatch and raise hood.
2. Check fuel lines for deterioration, damage, leaks, or
loose connections. Replace hoses, clamps, and con-
nections as necessary.
Fuel Tank Removal (Fig. 21)
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine, engage parking brake, and remove key

2. Remove fuel from the tank into a suitable container.
Crossover fuel hose removal may assist to drain tank
completely.

port straps. Disconnect seat switch from the electrical
harness (Fig. 22).
4. Remove fuel hose strap and both fuel hoses from the
fuel tank. Pull tank from the machine (Fig. 22).
Drain and Clean Fuel Tank
Drain and clean the fuel tank every 2 years. Also, drain
and clean the fuel tank if the fuel system becomes con-
taminated or if the machine is to be stored for an ex-
tended period.
1. Remove fuel tank from the machine (see Fuel Tank
Removal).
2. Flush fuel tank out with clean diesel fuel. Make sure
tank is free of contaminates and debris.
3. Install fuel tank to the machine (see Fuel Tank Instal-
lation).
