Regular Maintenance
CHECKING / ADDING FUEL
To add fuel:
• Remove the fuel cap.
• Fill the tank.
Do not overfill. Leave approximately 1” of room in
the tank for fuel expansion. Refer to your engine
manual for specific fuel recommendations.
•
Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.
FUEL FILTER
The fuel filter is located in the fuel line between the
fuel shut off valve and the fuel pump. If filter is dirty
or clogged, replace as follows:
• Shut off the fuel valve.
• Place a container below the filter to catch spilled
fuel.
• Using pliers, open and slide hose clamps from fuel
filter.
• Remove hoses from filter.
• Install new filter in proper flow direction in fuel line.
• Secure with hose clamps.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and must be
handled with care. Never fill the tank when the
engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not
allow open flame, smoking or matches in the
area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills.
Do not remove fuel filter when engine is hot,
as spilled gasoline may ignite. DO NOT spread
hose clamps further than necessary. Ensure
clamps grip hoses firmly over filter after
installation.
Do not use gasoline containing
METHANOL, gasohol containing more
than 10% ethanol, gasoline additives,
premium gasoline, or white gas because
engine/fuel system damage could result.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure should be checked periodically, and
maintained at the levels shown in the chart. Note
that these pressures may differ slightly from the “Max
Inflation” stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The
pressures shown provide proper traction, improve cut
quality, and extend tire life.
