NOTE: If engine fuel is to be stored for more than one season,
without gasoline stabilizer, it will gradually deteriorate. Also, if
it is stored in the engine's gas tank without gasoline stabilizer it
is likely that your carburetor will have gum deposits, a clogged
fuel system and will VOID YOURWARRANTY.Prepare the fuel for
extended storage.
Fuel System
To avoid stale fuel and carburetor
problems,
treat the fuel system
in the following
manner:
NOTE:Always
follow
mix ratio found
on the stabilizer
container.
Failure to do so may result in equipment
damage.
NOTE: It is NOT necessary to drain stabilized
gas from carburetor.
FuelTreatment
1.
Add fuel stabilizer
according
to Manufacturer's
instructions.
2.
Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding the stabilizer to
allow it to reach the carburetor.
WARNING!
NEVERstore the engine with the fuel in
the fuel tank inside a building with potential sources
of ignition such as a hot water heater, space heater,
clothes dryer, electric motor, etc.
NOTE: Instead of using a fuel preservative/stabilizer, you can
empty the fuel tank as described next in Extended Storage -
Draining the Fuel.
Extended Storage
Drainingthe Fuel
NOTE: Clean debris from the engine
before draining
fuel from
the carburetor.
NOTE: If you have prepared your fuel for short-term storage it
is NOT necessary to drain fuel that contains stabilizer from your
carburetor.
