GAS
•Fillfuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with aminimum of 87
octane. (Use of leaded gasoline wig
increasecarbon and lead oxidedeposits
and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil
with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quanti-
ties that can be used within30 days to
assure fuel freshness.
IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN
TEMPERATURES BELOW 32°F(0°C), use
fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help
insure good coldweather starting.
WARNING: Experience indicates that
alcohol blended fuels (caited gasohol or
using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leadsto separation and
formation of acids dudngstorage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be
emptied beforestorage of 30 days or
longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. See Storage Instructions for
additional information. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner productsin the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur.
CAUTION: Fillto bottom of gas tank filler

oil or fuel. Do not store,spill or use
gasoline near an open flame.

ENGINE
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.
Also, experience indicates that 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.
•Drain the fuel tank.
• Start the engine and let it rununtilthe
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: Fuelstab_T,Terisan acceptable
alternativeinminimizingthe formationoffuel
gum depositsduring storage. Add stabilizerto
gasolinein fueltank or storage container.
Always followthe mix ratiofound onstabiF_zer
container. Run engineat ]east10minutes
after adding stabilizerto allow the stabiFr_erto
reachthe carburetor. Do not drain the gas
tankand carburetorif using fuel stabi_zer.
