FUELSYSTEM
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
alternative
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).
