Storage

WARNING
Never store the unit (with fuel) in an
enclosed, poorly ventilated structure.
Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition source
(such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and
cause an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic to
humans and animals.

other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition
sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.

Equipment

Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and remove the
key.
Battery life will be increased if it is removed. Put in a cool,
dry place and fully charged about once a month. If the
battery is left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.
Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale
fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel
system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh,
use Briggs & Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment
& Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine
service parts are sold.
For engines equipped with a FRESH START® fuel cap,
use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START® available in a drip
concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel
stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the en-
gine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the
fuel system before storage.
