Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive.
You can be burned or seriously
injured when handling fuel.
Stop the engine and keep heat,
sparks, and flame away.
Handle fuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
Unscrew the fuel tank cap (see page 43), remove the debris screen,

recommend using a commercially available gasoline hand pump to
empty the tank. Do not use an electric pump. Reinstall the debris
screen and the fuel tank cap.
Loosen the cover screw and remove the maintenance cover (see
page 45).
Loosen the carburetor drain screw.
Drain the gasoline from the carburetor into a suitable container.

Pull the starter grip (see page 24) 3 to 4 times to drain the gasoline
from the fuel pump into a suitable container.
