Storing for Two Months or Less
1. Fill fuel tank per the OPERATING CHECKLIST section of this manual then add a fuel
stabilizer per the manufacturer's recommendations. NOTE: Using a fuel stabilizer (sold

fuels in outdoor power equipment engines. Always follow the instructions provided by the
fuel stabilizer manufacturer to mix and use correctly.
2. Complete the steps in the OPERATING CHECKLIST, CONNECTING HOSES, and
PRIMING THE PUMP sections of this manual.
