SEDIMENT CUP CLEANING

The sediment cup prevents dirt or water that may be in the fuel tank
from entering the carburetor. If the engine has not been run for a long
time, the sediment cup should be cleaned.

OFF position and remove the
key.
2. Turn the fuel valve lever to the
OFF position; then remove the
sediment cup and the O-ring.
Discard the O-ring.
3. Clean the sediment cup in
nonflammable solvent, and dry
it thoroughly.
4. Reinstall a new O-ring and
sediment cup, and tighten the
sediment cup securely.
5. Turn the fuel valve lever to the
ON position and check for leaks.
