FILL GAS:
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded grade
automotive
gasoline. Be sure that the container you
pour the gasoline from is clean and free from rust or
other foreign particles. Never use gasoline that may be
stale from long periods of storage in the container.
NOTE: SAE.
5W-30 motor oil may be used to make
starting easier
in areas where temperature
is consis-
tentty 20 ° F or lower.
WARNING:
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or those using ethanol or metha-
nol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage Acidic gas can dam-
age the fuel system of an engine while in storage
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage for 30 days or longer Start the
engine and let it run u ntilt he fuel lines and carbureto r are
empty. Use the carburetor bowl drain to empty residual
gasoline from the float chamber (Fig. 41, page 25) Use
fresh fuel next season.

page 25 for additional information)
