■ Checking
Fuel Lines and Fuel Filter
A
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
• Stop the engine and remove the key before
checking fuel lines and fuel filter.
• Check the fuel lines periodically. The fuel lines
are subject to wear and aging. Fuel may-leak
out onto the running engine, causing a fire.
The fuel line connections should be checked annually or
every 100 service hours, whichever occurs first.
1. The fuel line is made of rubber and ages regardless of
service period.
2. After inspection, if the fuel line and clamps are found
damaged or deteriorated, replace them.
3. Check fuel filter, if it is clogged by debris or
contaminated by water, replace it.
IMPORTANT:
• When the fuel line is disconne~!ed for maintenance or
repair, plug both ends of the fuel line with a ·clean plug
of suitable size to prevent dust and dirt from entering.
Particular care must be taken not to admit dust and dirt
into the fuel system. Entrance of dust and dirt causes
malfunction of the fuel pump.
