5. Clamp off the fuel lines.
IMPORTANT: Take care that the fuel lines are not
damaged when clamping them off. Never
insert a screw or anything else into the fuel
line to prevent fuel from coming out. This will
damage the inside of the fuel line.
NOTE: There are commercially available fuel line
clamping tools that will not damage the fuel
lines.
6. Squeeze the tabs on the fuel line clamps and slide
them away from the filter.
7. Carefully slide the fuel lines off of the filter. If there
are pieces of rubber on the barbs of the fuel filter,
replace the affected fuel line.
IMPORTANT: The 2000 series tractor uses low permeation fuel line to meet EPA guidelines. When replacing
the fuel lines, they must be replaced with the same type of low permeation fuel line.
8. Install the new filter by following the previous steps in reverse order.
9. Test run the engine and check for leaks before returning to service.

Clean the engine

Air cooled engines cool better if they are clean. Check
for nesting or signs of nesting especially after dormant
