4.4 FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE
IMPORTANT:
The unit is equipped with a gravity feed
type of fuel system. If the fuel shut-off valve is not in the
closed "Off" position, gasoline can leak out of the
carburetor while the unit is being transported.
IMPORTANT:
The unit engine fuel shut-off valve has
two positions:
1. Closed "Off"
2. Open "On"
ALWAYS close or turn the fuel shut-off valve to the
"Off" position for servicing, transporting or storing the
unit.
The unit must have the fuel shut-off valve in the open
"On" position for proper fuel delivery to the engine
during normal operation (Figure 1).
Check the fuel shut-off valve frequently to assure it is in
the proper position for operation or service.
