The fuel filter is located in the fuel line on the left side
of the engine by the starter motor. Replace the filter
yearly. Prior to the removal of the old filter, note the
direction of fuel flow as indicated on the filter. Have
towels readily available in order to quickly remove any
fuel leakage. Always use new hose clamps and ensure
the security of the new filter by lightly pulling on each
hose. Always perform maintenance outdoors or in a well
ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow any open flames in
the vicinity of any maintenance activities.
3.2 Changing your fuel filter
1)
Locate your fuel filter and mark the direction it is
facing.
2)
Clamp each side of the fuel filter to minimize and gas
spills.
3)
Remove the clips from each side of the fuel filter and
remove the fuel filter.
4)
Place the new fuel filter in the same direction as the
old
and place clips back into place and remove clamps.
The air cleaner is the engine’s only defense
against damaging foreign particles. It is very
important that the air cleaner element is
inspected prior to each use. Remove the
element and tap its sides in order to remove
debris. Do not blow the filter out using
compressed air. Doing so will greatly reduce the
air cleaner’s effectiveness. Replace yearly; more
often in dusty environments. Adhering to these
practices will help prevent loss of power and
premature engine failure.
