Filling the Fuel Tank

DANGER! NEVER refuel with the engine

running. Refer to Fire and Explosion

Hazard on page 5.

1. Clean the area around the fuel cap.
2. Remove the fuel cap from the fuel tank.
3. Fill the tank with clean fuel free of oil and

dirt. NOTICE: Hold the hose nozzle firmly

against the filler port while filling. This

prevents static electricity buildup which

could cause sparks and ignite fuel

vapors.

4. Stop fueling when gauge shows fuel tank

is full. NOTICE: NEVER overfill the fuel

tank.

5. Replace the fuel cap and hand-tighten.

Over-tightening the fuel cap will damage

it.

Bleeding the Fuel System

The engine has an automatic air bleed

system. Bleeding the fuel system is not

required for normal engine operation.

The fuel system needs to be bled under

certain conditions:

• Starting the engine for the first time
• After running out of fuel and fuel has been

added to the fuel tank

• After fuel system maintenance such as

changing the fuel filter and draining the fuel

filter / water separator, or replacing a fuel

system component

To bleed the fuel system:

1. Loosen the air bleed screw at the top of

the fuel / water separator 2-3 turns. When

fuel with no air bubbles flows freely,

tighten the air bleed screw.

2. Loosen the air bleed screw of the fuel

filter 2-3 turns.

3. Move the knob on top of feed pump

several times to feed fuel. Continue to

move feed pump knob until fuel with no

air bubbles flows freely.

4. Tighten the air bleed screw.
NOTICE: NEVER use the starter motor to

crank the engine to bleed the fuel system.

This may cause the starter motor to overheat

and damage the coils, pinion and / or ring

gear.
