STORAGE
Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor
1. Unscrew the fuel filler cap (see page 52), remove the fuel filter, and
empty the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container. We
recommend using a commercially available gasoline hand pump to
empty the tank. Do not use an electric pump. Reinstall the fuel filter
and the fuel filler cap.
2. Loosen the maintenance cover screw and remove the maintenance
cover (see page 53).
