Draining the Fuel Tank

Danger
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and others
and can damage property.
• Drain gasoline from the fuel tank when the
engine is cold. Do this outdoors in an open area.
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
• Never smoke when draining gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where a spark may
ignite the gasoline fumes.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, to ensure that the
fuel tank drains completely.
2. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
3. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
4. Disconnect the spark plug wire(s) from the spark
plug(s).
5. Close the fuel shut-off valve in fuel line (Fig. 44).

Replacing the Fuel Filter
Never install a dirty filter if it is removed from the fuel line.
1. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
3. Disconnect the spark plug wire(s) from the spark
plug(s).
4. Close the fuel shut-off valve (Fig. 44).
5. Squeeze the ends of the hose clamps together and slide
them away from the filter (Fig. 44).
6. Remove the filter from the fuel lines.
7. Install a new filter and move the hose clamps close to
the filter.
8. Open the fuel shut-off valve at the fuel tank (Fig. 44).
9. Check for fuel leaks and make any needed repairs.

Servicing the Hydraulic System

Replacing the Hydraulic Filter
Change the hydraulic filter:
• After the first 8 operating hours.
• After every 200 operating hours.
1. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
Important Do not substitute automotive oil filter or
severe hydraulic system damage may result.
3. Remove hydraulic reservoir cap and temporarily cover
opening with a plastic bag and rubber band to prevent
all hydro fluid from draining out.
4. Locate filter under engine base and place drain pan
under filter (Fig. 45).
