FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE
The fuel shut-oft valve which is located below the
gasoline tank is used as a main fuel shut-off to the
engine. To turn the fuel on, turn the knob counter¬
clockwise to the stop. To turn the fuel off, turn the
knob clockwise until it is tight.
HOOD AND NOISE ISOLATION PANELS

for easy access to the engine compartment. When¬
ever engine maintenance is required, the noise isola¬
tion panels can be readily removed by removing the
two wing nuts and two washers (one on each side)
and disconnecting the panel spring. (See Figure 17.)
