The Fuel Valve Lever
Important
Use the cylinder lock when raising the
loader arm to access the fuel valve lever. Refer to the
Using the Cylinder Lock section on page 18.
The fuel valve lever opens and closes the passage between
the fuel tank and the carburetor. The fuel valve lever is
shipped from the factory in the open position.
The traction unit is equipped with an electric fuel solenoid
that is connected to the ignition switch. The solenoid
automatically shuts the fuel off when the ignition key is in
the Off position.
The manual fuel lever should remain
in the On position
.
The fuel valve lever is located on the left hand side of the
traction unit (Fig. 15). Raise the loader arm and secure it
with the cylinder lock to access the lever.
