such as dust, dirt, or water, it can cause not only
decrease of output but also malfunctions of the fuel
system. To avoid such a problem, drain fuel tank as

Note: If the specification of fuel tank differs from the
contents of this operation manual, follow the fuel
tank manufacturer's operation manual.

more) under the drain cock of fuel tank.

least 1 to 2 liters [0.3 to 0.5 US gal].

ject in the drained fuel, close the drain cock.
