Filling the Fuel Tank
Before filling fuel tank for the first
time:
Rinse fuel tank with kerosene or diesel fuel.
Dispose of waste properly.
To fill the fuel tank:
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. WARNING! 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 the gauge shows the
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
Bleeding must be done if any fuel system
maintenance has been performed
(replacement of fuel filter, etc.) or if the
engine does not start after several attempts.
