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.
ALSO, FUEL (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHA-
NOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE
WHICH LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION
OF ACID DURING STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN
DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE
WHILE IN STORAGE.
• Drain the fuel tank. Start the engine, and let it run
untilfuel lines and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner productsin
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in
minimizingformation of fuel gum deposits dudng stor-
age. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank in fuel tank
or storage container. Always follow mix retie found on
stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes
after adding stabilizer to allow stabilizer to reach the
carburetor. Do not drain gas tank and carburetor if
using stabilizer.
• Drain all the oil from the crankcase (this should be
done after the engine has been operated and is still
warm) and refill the crankcase with fresh oil.
