Draining The Fuel Tank
POTENTIAL HAZARD
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
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 drain gasoline near an open flame or
where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a
spark.
Never smoke a cigarette, cigar or pipe.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, to assure
fuel tanks drain 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 (Fig. 32).
3.
Loosen the hose clamp at the fuel filter and slide
it up the fuel line away from the fuel filter
(Fig. 32).
4.
Pull the fuel line off fuel filter (Fig. 32).
5.
Open fuel shut-off valve for left and right tanks.
Allow gasoline to drain into a gas can or drain
pan. (Fig. 32).
Note:
Now is the best time to install a new
fuel filter because the fuel tank is
empty.

Install the fuel line onto the fuel filter. Slide the
hose clamp close to the fuel filter to secure the
fuel line (Fig. 32).
