OTHER STORAGE TIPS

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• Replace the gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in the
gasoline will cause problems with the carburetor and fuel system.
• If possible, store the unit indoors and cover it to give protection from
dust and dirt. BE SURE TO EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.
• If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and the unit is to be stored
for some time, use a commercially available fuel stabilizer added to the
gasoline to increase the life of the gasoline.
• Cover the unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain
moisture.
