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. Alcohol
blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture
which
leads to separa-
tion and formation
of acids during storage.
Acidic
gas can damage
the fuel system
of
an engine
while
in storage.
• Empty the fuel tank by starting
the en-
gine and letting 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
al-
ternative
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 empty the gas
tank and carburetor
if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE
OIL
Drain oil (with engine
warm)
and replace
with clean engine
oil. (See "ENGINE"

the Maintenance
