Danger
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and others
and can damage property.
•
Drain gasoline from the fuel tank when the
engine is cold. Do this outdoors in an open area.
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
•
Never smoke when draining gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where a spark may
ignite the gasoline fumes.
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, to ensure that
the fuel tanks drain completely.
2. Stop the engine, and remove the key.
3. Shut off fuel valve under fuel tank.
4. Loosen the hose clamp at the fuel filter and slide it up
the fuel line away from the filter.
5. Pull the fuel line off of the fuel filter, open the fuel
valve, and allow the gasoline to drain into a gas can or
drain pan.
Note: Now is the best time to install a new fuel filter
because the fuel tank is empty.
