Filling the Fuel Tank
Changing the In-line Fuel Filter 1. Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the Off position. 2. Remove the lower rear frame cover. 3. Loosen the hose clamps and remove the fuel filter (A). 4. Install the new fuel filter with the arrow pointing toward the engine and fasten securely with the hose clamps. A 5. Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the On position. 6. Inspect the fuel filter hose connections for leaks. 7. Reinstall the lower rear frame cover. Priming the Fuel System 1. Turn the ignition key to the run position for ap- proximately 30 seconds. The operator should hear the fuel pump operating. 2. Start the power unit. Repeat step 1 if necessary. Checking the Fan/Alternator Belt WARNING Fingers or loose clothing can get caught in rotating parts. Shut off the engine, remove the ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop rotating before working on the power unit. 3. If the power unit has been running, allow the engine to cool. A
DANGER Fuel is flammable and explosive. Follow all safety instructions in the Fuel Safety section and in the Engine Owner’s Manual. WARNING Long term exposure to fuel vapors can cause seri- ous injury or illness. Avoid prolonged breathing of fuel vapors. If fuel is spilled on your skin or clothing, change your clothing and wash the affected area immedi - ately. ATTENTION Improper fuel can damage your engine. Only use fuel that meets the fuel grade and specifications listed in the Engine Owner’s Manual. 1. Park the power unit on a level surface. 2. If the power unit has been running, allow the engine to cool. 3. The fuel tank cap is located on top of the left rear fender. Wipe any dust and dirt off the fuel cap to prevent dirt from falling into the fuel tank and remove the fuel cap. 4. Add fuel to the tank until the fuel level reaches the bottom of the fuel neck*. Do not overfill the tank by filling the fuel neck, as this may cause engine flooding, fuel leakage from the tank, and/or dam - age to the emissions control system. Keep the fuel nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel neck until fueling is completed. 5. Replace the fuel cap and tighten. 6. Wipe up any fuel spills and allow fuel vapors to dissipate before starting the engine.
4. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the Off position. 5. Check the fan belt (A) for exces - sive wear, cracks, or damage. Replace if necessary. 6. Check the fan belt for proper tension. Depress the belt half- way (B) between the drive pulley and the alternator pulley and measure the belt deflection at
B
the specified force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf). The belt deflection should measure 7 to 9 mm (1/4 to 3/8 inches). If the belt deflection is not within the specifications, adjust the belt tension.
*If the power unit will not be used after filling the fuel tank, only fill the tank to within 25 mm (1 inch) of the bottom of the fuel neck to allow room for fuel ex - pansion from temperature changes. Failure to do so may cause engine flood - ing, leakage from the tank, and/or damage to the emissions control system.
