battery
may require recharging.
• To help prevent corrosion
and power leak-
age during long periods of storage,
battery
cables
should
be disconnected
and bat-
tery cleaned
thoroughly
(see "TO CLEAN

ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
it is important
to prevent gum
deposits from forming in essential fuel system
parts such as carburetor,
fuel hose, or tank
during storage.
Also, alcohol
blended
fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture
which leads to separa-
tion 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 engine
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 storage
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 carburetor.
Do not
empty the gas tank and carburetor
if using
fuel stabilizer,
