Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. A fire or an explosion
from the fuel can burn you, burn other people, and damage property.
• Use caution whenever you store or handle gasoline.
• Do not smoke while handling gasoline.
• Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running, while the
engine is hot, or when the machine is in an enclosed area.
• Always fill the fuel tank outside and wipe up any spilled gasoline
before starting the engine.
• Store gasoline in a clean, safety-approved container and keep
the cap in place.
• Use gasoline as an engine fuel only, not for any other purpose.
The muffler and exhaust manifold may be hot. To avoid possible
burns, allow exhaust system to cool before working on the engine.
Check the fuel lines and connections at the scheduled maintenance intervals
recommended in the Traction Unit Operator's Manual. Check the lines for
deterioration, damage, leaks, or loose connections. Replace the hoses, clamps,
and fittings as necessary.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units, shut off the
engine, set the parking brake, and remove the key from the key switch.
2. Allow the engine to completely cool.

drain any fuel trapped in the fuel filter and fuel hose into a suitable

tank contents completely into a suitable container.
