Cleaning the Sediment Cup
Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Clean the

DANGER
In certain conditions, fuel is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can damage property.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel
that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add fuel to the fuel tank until the level is 25
mm (1 inch) below the top of the tank. This
empty space in the tank allows the fuel to
expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay
away from an open flame or where fuel
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children. Do not
buy more than a 30-day supply of fuel.
• Always place fuel containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
• Do not fill fuel containers inside a vehicle
or on a truck or trailer bed, because interior
carpets or plastic truck-bed liners may
insulate the container and slow the loss of
any static charge.
• When practical, remove fuel-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and
fuel the equipment with the wheels on the
ground. If this is not possible, then fuel
such equipment on a truck or trailer from
a portable container rather than from a
fuel-dispenser nozzle.
• If you must use a fuel-dispenser nozzle,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete.
