CLEAN FUEL TANK CAP AND STRAINER
Wipe off the fuel cap and surrounding area before remov-
ing the fuel cap. Wiping off the fuel cap and surrounding
area before removing the fuel cap helps to reduce the
amount of contaminants allowed into the fuel system. If
there is a build-up of debris in the fuel strainer, remove the
strainer and rinse out the strainer. Allow the strainer to dry
before installing the strainer.
* Perform these operations after the first 5 hours of use, then at the recommended intervals.
