Perform the following
steps after each use:
• Allow engine to cool, and secure the
unit before storing or transporting.
• Store unit and fuel in a well venti-
lated area where fuel vapors cannot
reach sparks or open flames from
water heaters, electric motors or
switches, furnaces,
etc.

SEASONAL
STORAGE
Prepare unit for storage at end of sea-
son or if it will not be used for 30 days
or more. If your unit is to be stored for
a period of time:
• Clean the entire unit before lengthy
storage.
• Store in a clean dry area.
• Lightly oil external metal surfaces.
FUEL SYSTEM
Empty the fuel system before storage for
30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank,
start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use
fresh fuel next season. Under FUELING
ENGINE in the OPERATION section of this
manual, see message labeled
IMPORTANT regarding the use of gaso-
hol in your engine.
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alterna-
tive in minimizing the formation of fuel
gum deposits during storage. Add stabi-
lizer to gasoline in fuel tank or fuel stor-
age container. Follow the mix instruc-
tions found on stabilizer container. Run
engine at least 3 minutes after adding
stabilizer.

spoon of 40:1,2-cycle

10 times to distribute

• Replace spark plug with new one of
recommended
type and heat range.
• Clean air filter.

nuts, and bolts. Replace any dam-
aged, broken, or worn parts.
