Draining the Fuel Tank

DANGER
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion
from gasoline can burn you and others and can
damage property.
• Drain gasoline from the fuel tank when the
engine is cold. Do this outdoors in an open area.
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
• Never smoke when draining gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where a spark may
ignite the gasoline fumes.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, to ensure that
the fuel tank drains completely.
2. Lower the grinder.
3. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
4. Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed position
(Figure 37).
