3. Disconnect the fuel line at the fuel shut-off valve fitting.
2. The fuel line can be removed for cleaning or replacement by first disconnecting the line at the fuel tank and the sediment bowL
4. Remove the fuel tank attaching bolt from each rear corner of the fuel tank.
3. To clean the fuel line, blow it out with compressed air. When replacing a fuel line, be sure that the connections are tight and do not leak.
5. Loosen the nut that attaches the front of the fuel tank to the center of the fuel tank front support bracket.
NOTE; Tighten fuel linecmmecti<ms carefully. The fittings are brass and it is possible to strip the threads if they are over-tightened.
6. Disconnect the wire from the fuel gauge at the tank.
7. Slide the fuel tank approximately one inch to free it from the front mounting bolt. then lift it from the tractor.
4. To clean the sediment bowl, turn the fuel tank shutoff valve to the "OFF" position. Loosen the bail nut and remove the bail from the bowl. Withdraw the bowl from the top of the housing and also remove the screen. Clean both the screen and the bowl and then replace them. Use a new gasket between the sediment bowl and sediment bowl housing.
B. Fuel Tank Cleaning 1. Water caused by normal condensation, accumulates in the fuel tank when allowed to stand low or empty for a period of time (usually over night). Therefore, it is a good practice to fill the tank to capacity at the end of each day of operation to prevent moisture laden air from forming water, rust and gum formations. Long periods of tractor storage may also cause gum formations in the tank.
D. Fuel Tank Installation 1. Place the fuel tank in position on the tractor making sure the carriage bolt on the fuel tank front support bracket engages the fuel tank bracket.
2. If it is necessary to clean the tank, drain the fuel completely and remove the shut-off valve fitting.
2. Install the bolt and lock washer at each r ear corner of the tank.
3. Wash the interior of the tank thoroughly with a mixture of alcohol and acetate or any other suitable solution. Disassemble the fuel shut-off valve and dean it thoroughly. Dry the tank thoroughly. then reassemble the shut-off valve and mount it on the tank.
3. Tighten the nut at the fuel tank front support bracket.
4. Insert the oil gauge line in the clip at the right rear of the fuel tank. 5. Connect the wire to the terminal on the fuel gauge tank unit.
C. Sediment Bowl and Fuel Lines
6. Connect the fuel line at the fuel shut-off valve fitting and tum the fuel shut-off valve to the "ON" position. Be sure that there are no fuel leaks.
1. The sediment bowl is located at the front of the carburetor and is provided for the purpose of trapping condensation or other contaminants that may flow through the fuel line from the fuel tank.
7. Install the hood assembly.
