remove
all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a
clean, dry area.

"CLEANING"
in the Maintenance
sec-
tion of this manual).
2.
Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance
section of this manual.

pins are securely fastened.

moving parts for damage, breakage
and wear.
Replace if necessary.

surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

ENGINE
Maintenance,
repair, or replacement
of
the emission control devices and systems,
which are being done at the customers
ex-
pense, may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment
or individual.
Warranty repairs must be performed by an
authorized
engine manufacturer's
service
outlet.
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as carburetor,
fuel
filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.
Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or
using ethanol or methanol)
can attract
moisture which leads to separation
and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage.
• Empty the fuel tank by starting the en-
gine and letting it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
alternative
in minimizing
the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or stor-
age container.
Always follow the mix ratio
found on stabilizer container.
Run engine
at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer
to allow the stabilizer to reach the car-
buretor.
Do not empty the gas tank and
carburetor
if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace
with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE"
in
the Maintenance
section of this manual).
CYLINDER

2.
Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through
