Switching the 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. 13).
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 the fuel shut off valve, on the front panel, before
transporting or storing the machine.
