Charge Circuit F2—25 amp, blade-type
Optional Headlight Kit—10 amp, blade type

Replacing the Fuel Filter
Replace the fuel filter after every 200 operating hours or
yearly, whichever occurs first.
Never install a dirty filter if it is removed from the fuel line.
1. Disengage the PTO and move the control levers to the
neutral locked position and apply the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Close the fuel shut-off valve located under the front of
the fuel tank.
4. Squeeze the ends of the hose clamps together and slide
them away from the filter (Fig. 29).
5. Remove the filter from the fuel lines.
6. Install a new filter and move the hose clamps close to
the filter (Fig. 29).
7. Open the fuel shut-off valve.

Draining the Fuel Tank
Danger
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and others
and can damage property.
•
Drain gasoline from the fuel tank when the
engine is cold. Do this outdoors in an open area.
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
•
Never smoke when draining gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where a spark may
ignite the gasoline fumes.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, to ensure that the
fuel tank drains completely.
2. Disengage the PTO and move the control levers to the
neutral locked position and apply the parking brake.
3. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
4. Close the fuel shut-off valve located under the front of
the fuel tank.
5. Loosen the hose clamp at the fuel filter and slide it up
the fuel line away from the fuel filter (Fig. 29).
6. Pull the fuel line off of the fuel filter (Fig. 29).
7. Open the fuel shut-off valve. Allow gasoline to drain
into a gas can or drain pan.
Note: Now is the best time to install a new fuel filter
because the fuel tank is empty.
