Checking the Fuel Cap, Tank, and
Lines
WARNING:
Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap, tank,
or lines are a fire hazard and must be replaced
immediately. If you find any leaks, correct the
problem before using the product. Failure to do
so could result in a fire that could cause serious
personal injury.
The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and check

If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened,
the check valve may be faulty or the filter may be clogged.
Replace the fuel cap if necessary.
