Draining The Fuel Tank
1. Park the machine on a level surface, to assure fuel tank
drains completely. Then disengage the power take off
(PTO), set the parking brake, and turn the ignition key
to "OFF" to stop the engine. Remove the key.
2. Close fuel shut–off valve at fuel tank (Fig. 35).
Note: Remove fuel line from fuel valve that is closest to
the engine.
3. Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp together and slide
it up the fuel line away from valve (Fig. 35).
4. Pull the fuel line off the valve (Fig. 35). Open fuel
shut-off valve and allow gasoline to drain into a gas
can or drain pan.
Note: Now is the best time to install a new fuel filter
because the fuel tank is empty. Refer to Replacing the
Fuel Filter; page 30.
5. Install the fuel line onto the valve. Slide the hose
clamp close to the valve to secure the fuel line.

Cutting Blade Service

To ensure a superior quality of cut, keep the blades
sharp. For convenient sharpening and replacement,
you may want to keep extra blades on hand.
Warning
A worn or damaged blade can break, and a piece
of the blade could be thrown into the operator's
or bystander's area, resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
Inspect the blade periodically for wear or
damage.
Replace a worn or damaged blade.
