9.6 DRAINING FUEL TANK/CARBURETOR
To help prevent gum deposits in the fuel
system, drain the fuel from the tank and
carburetor before storing.
Draining the fuel tank:
Remove the fuel tank cap, remove the
fuel strainer, and empty the fuel tank into
an approved fuel container. We
recommend using a commercially
available fuel hand pump to empty
the tank. Do not use an electric pump.
Siphon the fuel by inserting the tip
of the hand pump into the side of the
pump guard. Reinstall the fuel strainer
and the fuel tank cap..
Draining the carburetor:
n
Loosen the screws at the side of the
right maintenance cover. Remove
cover and set aside.
n
Turn the Multi-switch to the RUN
position.
n
Position a suitable container under
the carburetor drain screw to catch
fuel; loosen the screw.
n
Allow fuel to drain completely into
container.
n
Retighten drain screw securely.
n
Turn the Multi-switch to the OFF
position.
Warning! Petrol is highly flammable. Do not perform
maintenance while smoking or near an open flame.
