Gasoline Check
1. Remove the gasoline cap located on top of fuel tank.
2. Visually inspect to see if fuel level is low. If fuel is low, replenish with unleaded fuel.
3. When refueling, be sure to use a strainer for filtration. DO NOT top-off fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
V-Belt Check
NEVER attempt to check the V-belt with the engine running. Severe injury can occur if your hand
(Figure 6) gets caught between the V-belt and the clutch. Always use safety gloves.
1. To check the V-belt tension, remove the three bolts that secure the belt cover to the frame.
2. The V-belt tension is proper if the V-belt bends 10 to 15 mm (Figure 7) when depressed with finger at
midway between the clutch and vibration pulley shafts.
