Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
Important: The fuel tanks are connected, but the
fuel does not transfer quickly from one tank to the
other. It is important when filling that you park
on a level surface. If you park on a hill, you may
inadvertently overfill the tanks.
2. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
3. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove the cap.
Important: Do not open the fuel tanks when
parked on a hill. The fuel could spill out.
4. Add fuel to both fuel tanks, until the level is even with
the bottom of the filler neck (Figure 41). Do not over
fill the fuel tanks.

5. Install the fuel tank caps securely. Wipe up any fuel
that may have spilled.
Note: If possible, fill the fuel tanks after each use. This
will minimize possible buildup of condensation inside the
fuel tank.
