FUEL SHUT.OFF VALVE
FUEL SYSTEM
Be sure the shut-off
valve
on the fuel
strainer
under
the gasoline
tank is open.
Screw
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.
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.
CLEANING THE FUEL STRAINER AND SEDIMENT BOWL
The fuel tank filler
cap has an ai.r vent.
Keep the vent open at all times
to assure
proper
flow of the fuel.
After every 25 hours of operation,
clean
the fuel strainer
as follows:
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
ga s. Do not spill
ga s oline
on a hot engine.
1. Close the shut-off
valve.
See Illusts. 9 and 9A.
Loosen the knurled
nut under the sediment
bowl and remove
the bowl and screen.
2. Clean the sediment bowl and screen.
3. When 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.
