Fuel Tank

Removal
!
WARNING!
Petrol is highly flammable and
environmentally hazardous.
Exercise caution to avoid fire and
spillage.
1. Place a suitable container to collect the
petrol. The tank holds about 17 litres (4.5
US Gal).
2. Empty the petrol tank by removing the
hose from the connector under the tank.
If you do not wish to empty the tank, you
can pinch the hose with lockable welding
pliers and then remove the hose and
hose clamp from the fuel filter's lower
connector. You must then be sure to
keep the hose opening higher than the
fuel level in the tank.
3. Remove the three screws that fix the
tank to the bracket. A screw is hidden on
the front of the bracket. Lower the tank
and pull out the hose through the frame
of the machine (if it has been loosened
by the fuel filter).
Fitting
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Overly long screws can damage the tank
and cause fuel leakage.
Only use approved screws specified in the
spare parts catalogue.
4. It is easier to work if you empty the tank
before fitting. Insert the hose into place
and attach it to the fuel filter with the
hose clamp. Make sure that the hose
cannot be chafed or rubbed.
5. Place the tank in place on the bracket
and attach it with the screws and
washers.
6. Fit the fuel hose and the hose clamp to
the connector under the tank as
required. Fill with petrol and check that
there are no leaks.
