Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor
1. Empty the fuel tank into an approved petrol container.
2. Remove the carburetor drain bolt with a 10mm wrench and drain the
carburetor bowl fuel into an approved container.

You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
 Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks and flame away.
 Handle fuel only outdoors.
 Wipe up spills immediately.
3.
Turn the fuel valve to the ON
position (see page 24). This
will allow fuel in the fuel
tank to drain through the
carburettor bowl. After the
fuel is completely drained,
reinstall the sealing washer
and the drain bolt.

3. Pull the starter grip several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.
