WARNING
Fuel is flammable and explosive. Ensure that the key switch is
off and the lanyard is positioned so that the engine cannot
start. Do not smoke or allow sources of spark or open flame in
the area while servicing. Keep the work area well ventilated
and avoid prolonged exposure to vapors. Always check for
leaks before attempting to start the engine, and wipe up any
spilled fuel immediately.
Before servicing any part of the fuel system, stop the engine and
disconnect the battery. Drain the fuel system completely. Use an
approved container to collect and store the fuel. Wipe up any
spillage immediately. Material used to contain the spillage must
be disposed of in an approved receptacle. Any fuel system
service must be performed in a well‑ventilated area. Inspect any
completed service work for signs of fuel leakage.
FUEL LINE FILTER
Inspect the fuel line filter. If the filter appears to be contaminated,
remove and replace.
IMPORTANT: Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the filter
connections by squeezing the primer bulb until firm, forcing fuel
into the filter.
