Troubleshooting - Husqvarna 6022SH Owner's Manual

OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give
protection from dust and dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that does
not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot
breathe, which allows condensation to form and will
cause your unit to rust.
