Check Tire Pressures
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and main-
tained at the levels shown in the chart (see Figure 10).
Note that these pressures may differ slightly from the
"Max Inflation" stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The
pressures shown provide proper traction, improve cut
quality, and extend tire life.
Checking / Adding Fuel
To add fuel:
1. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Fill the tank to the bottom of the filler neck.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop filling the
tank when fuel collects in the filler neck.
NOTE: Refer to your engine manual for specific fuel
recommendations.
3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.

Fuel Filter

The fuel filter is located in the fuel line between fuel tank
and fuel pump. If the filter is dirty or clogged, replace as
follows:
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Place a container below the filter to catch spilled fuel.
3. Using pliers, open and slide hose clamps from fuel
filter (A, Figure 11).
4. Remove hoses from filter.
5. Install new filter in proper flow direction in fuel line.
6. Secure with hose clamps.
7. Reconnect the negative battery cable when finished.

Engine Maintenance

Refer to engine manual for all engine maintenance pro-
cedures and recommendations.

WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled
with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still
hot from recent operation. Do not allow open flame,
smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and
wipe up any spills.
Do not remove fuel filter when engine is hot, as spilled
gasoline may ignite. DO NOT spread hose clamps
further than necessary. Ensure clamps grip hoses
firmly over filter after installation.
Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL,
gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol,
gasoline additives, premium gasoline, or white
gas because engine/fuel system damage
could result.
