2.4. Any of these items can be removed by discon-
necting any hoses or wires that are attached to
them and gently pulling or prying them out of the
fuel tank.
2.5. Each of these items fits through a grommet in
the top of the tank. Install the grommet first, then
the device.
2.6. The fuel level switch is of a normally closed
design. When the fuel tank is full, continuity is
broken. When the fuel level goes down, continu-
ity in the switch is made, completing the circuit
that lights the fuel pump symbol on the instru-
ment panel. See Figure 2.6.
2.7. There are two fuel filters in the system. There is
a large, 15
µ filter fastened to the console sup-
port bracket by a barbed cable tie.
NOTE: To remove the filter near the tank, slip
the filter out of the cable tie, turn the fuel valve to
the “OFF” position, pinch and remove the hose
clamps, and pull the hoses off of the filter. Have
a catch pan in place.
NOTE: Reverse the process to install the filter.
Install it with arrow on the filter body pointing in
the direction of fuel flow, or in accordance with
the words “IN” and “OUT”.
2.8. There is a smaller filter located under the air
intake shoulder. See Figure 2.8.
NOTE: The filters should be checked every six
months or 100 hours of operation. Replace
either filter if sediment or water are visible within
the filter. If the fuel has become stale or contam-
inated, replace the filters regardless of the num-
ber of hours of operation.
NOTE: The carburetor is jetted specifically for
the Big Country. If replacement is necessary, an
exact replacement carburetor should be
obtained through Cub Cadet.
