FUEL SYSTEM
Fill
the
fuel
tank
with
clean,
fresh,
regular
grade
gasoline,
preferably
at
the
end
of each
day's
use.
This
will
force
out
any
moisture-
laden
air
and
prevent
condensation
in
the
fuel
tank.
Do
not mix oil with the gasoline.
The
fuel
tank
filler
cap
has
an
air
vent.
Keep
the
vent
open
at
all
times
to
assure
proper
flow
of
the
fuel.
Caution!
Never
remove
the fuel tank
cap
or fill the fuel tank when
the engine
is running,
is hot,
or when
near
an
open
flame.
Do
not
smoke
when
working
around
inflammable
fuel,
as
the air around
the tractor
is mixed
with
a
highly
explosive
vapor.
When
pouring
fuel,
keep
the container
or hose
nozzle
in contact
with
the
metal
of the fuel tank
to avoid
the
possibility
of an
electric
spark
igniting
the
gas.
Do
not
spill gasoline
on a hot engine.
FUEL SHUT.OFF VALVE

sure
the
shut-off
valve
on
the
fuel
strainer
under
the
gasoline
tank
is

out
the
needle
stem
(Shut-off
valve)
un-
til
the
seat
on
the
stem
is
tight
against
the
stop,
to
prevent
leakage
or
seepage
when
the
valve
is
in
its
full-open
position.
CLEANING THE FUEL STRAINER AND SEDIMENT BOWL
After
every
Z5 hours
of operation,
clean
he
fuel
strainer
as
follows:
i. Close
the
shut-off
valve.
See lllusts.7 and 7A).
Loosen
the knurled
nut
under
the
sediment
bowl
and
remove
the bowl
and
screen.
Z.
Clean
the
sediment
bowl
and
screen.

reassembling,
be
sure
the
gasket
between
the
bowl
and
the
main
body
is
in good
condition
and
does
not
leak.
Use
a new
gasket
if necessary.
