CHECKING / ADDING FUEL
To add fuel:
1. Remove the fuel cap (see A, Figure 2).
2. Fill the tank to the bottom of the filler neck. This will
allow for fuel expansion.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Refer to your engine manual for
specific fuel recommendations.
3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.
4. Repeat same process for opposite tank.
FUEL FILTER
The fuel filter (D, Figure 2) is located in the fuel line
between fuel shut off valve and carburetor, near the fuel
pump. If filter is dirty or clogged, replace as follows:
1. Shut off the fuel tank selection valve.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Place a container below the filter to catch spilled fuel.
4. Using a pliers, open and slide hose clamps from fuel
filter.
5. Remove hoses from filter.
6. Install new filter in proper flow direction in fuel line.
7. Secure with hose clamps.

CHECK HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL
1. Observe the oil reservoirs (B, Figure 2). The oil level
should be at the “FULL” line (C, figure 2).
2. Before removing the reservoir caps, make sure the
area around the reservoir cap is free of dust, dirt, or
other debris.
3. If necessary, unscrew the reservoir cap and add SAE
straight 20 or 30 weight motor oil. DO NOT use
multi-grade oils. Fill until oil level reaches “FULL”
line.

Regular Maintenance
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.
