Draining the Fuel Tank

Note: There is no other recommended way to drain
fuel from the tank, other than using a syphon pump. A
syphon pump can be purchased at a hardware store.
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. Disengage the
power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, turn the
ignition key to Off and remove the key.
2. Clean around the fuel cap to prevent debris from
getting into the fuel tank (Figure 49).
3. Remove the fuel cap.
4. Insert a syphon pump into the fuel tank.
5. Using the syphon pump, drain the fuel into a clean
gas can (Figure 48).
6. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
