1. Pull the drain hose off the right side fitting. Hold the open end
of the hose over a container.
2. Use a 1/8 in. hex wrench and loosen the drain screw and drain

IMPORTANT: Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the drain
screw by squeezing the primer bulb until firm, forcing fuel into the
chamber.
Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering
cable to the engine must be fastened using special washer head
bolt ("a" ‑ Part Number 10‑849838) and self‑locking nylon insert
locknuts ("c" & "d" ‑ Part Number 11‑826709113). These locknuts
must never be replaced with common nuts (non‑locking) as they
will work loose and vibrate off freeing the link rod to disengage.
