Checking, Cleaning or Replacing the Fuel Strainer
Some machines may be fitted with fuel strainers, installed in the fuel tank filler opening. If the fuel

The fuel strainer is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possibly entering the fuel system and engine
and causing internal damage to it. The fuel strainer requires regular maintenance as per the maintenance
schedule.
