WARNING: AVOID INJURY.
Read and understand the Safety
section before proceeding.
IMPORTANT: NEVER wash unit with high-
pressure water or store outdoors.

SHORT TERM

1. Allow unit to cool and clean with mild
soap and water.
2. Tighten all hardware to specifications.
3. Inspect unit for visible signs of wear or
damage. Repair as needed.

NOTICE: Gravely recommends using a
quality fuel stabilizer in all fuel. Gasoline left
in the fuel system without a stabilizer, even
for short periods of time, deteriorates and
leaves gummy deposits in the system that
may damage the carburetor and fuel hoses,
filter and tank. For the best effectiveness, add
stabilizer to all fuel containers whenever
purchasing fuel. Add the stabilizer to the
container before adding fuel.
a. Add Gravely fuel stabilizer (see
Service Parts on page 16) or
equivalent according to
manufacturer's instructions to the fuel
tank and any fuel containers with
remaining fuel.
b. Run engine outdoors for at least
5 minutes to allow stabilizer to reach
the carburetor.
