IMPORTANT INFORMATION Experience
shows that alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol, 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. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system must be emptied before storage of
30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the
next season. See Storage section for more
information. Do not use engine or carburetor
cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage
can occur.
WARNING! Fill to the bottom of the filler
neck. Do not add too much gasoline. Wipe
off spilled oil or fuel. Do not keep, spill or use
gasoline near an open flame.
WARNING! The engine and the exhaust
system become very hot during operation.
There is a risk for burns if touched. Let engine
and exhaust system to cool before refueling.
