FUEL SYSTEM
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, alcohol
blended
fuels (called
gasohol
or using 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.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2.
Start the engine and let 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
altemative
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 drain the gas tank
and carburetor
if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace
with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in
the Maintenance section of this manual).
CYLINDER
1. Remove
spark plug.
2.
Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through
spark plug hole into cylinder.
3.
Pull starter
handle slowly
a few times
to distribute
oil.
4.
Replace
with new spark plug.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline
from one season
to another.
• Replace
your gasoline can if your can
starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your
gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors
and
cover it to give protection from dust and
dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable protec-
tive cover that does not retain moisture.
Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot
breathe,
which allows
condensation
to
form and will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT:
Never cover mower while
engone
and exhaust
areas are still warm.
_, CAUTION:Never
store the lawn mower
with gasoline
in the tank inside a building
where fumes
may reach an open flame or
spark. Allow the engine to cool before
storing
in any enclosure.
