the Battery, page 25.
2. Check the electrolyte level; refer to Checking the
Electrolyte Level, page 26.

Draining the Fuel Tank
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 machine on a level surface to ensure that the
fuel tank drains completely. Then disengage the PTO,
set the parking brake, stop the engine, and remove the
key.
2. Close the fuel shut-off valve located under the front of
the fuel tank.
3. Loosen the hose clamp at the fuel filter and slide it up
the fuel line away from the fuel filter (Fig. 34).
4. Pull the fuel line off of the fuel filter (Fig. 34).

5. Open the fuel shut-off valve. Allow 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.
6. Install the fuel line onto the fuel filter. Slide the hose
clamp close to the fuel filter to secure the fuel line
(Fig. 34).
