Be sure to check the fuel hoses and connectors for leaking and deterioration before
fueling and on a monthly basis.
Fuel vents are normally located in the deck in the same general area as the fuel fills.
Periodically check that the fuel fills and vent lines are free of obstructions and kinks.
Check and/or replace the fuel filter periodically or clean as needed. Check fuel
lines, vent hoses and drain hoses frequently for leaks. Replace any worn or cracked
hoses.
