CAUTIOH! Alcohol-blendedfuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or
methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separationand
formation of acids during storage.Acidic gas candamagethe
fuel system ofan engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated
with a fuel preserver or emptied beforestorage of 30 days or
longer. If adding a fuel preserver,fill the fuel tank with fresh
fuel. if only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage, if fuel preserver is not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
linesand carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.
SeeStoragefor additional information.
NEVERuseengine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank as permanent damagemay occur.
NighAJtitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum
85 octane /85 AKI (89 RON)gasoline is acceptable.To
remainemissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is
required. Operationwithout this adjustment will cause
decreasedperformance, increasedfuel consumption, and
increasedemissions. Seea qualified Searsdealerfor high
altitude adjustment information. Operationof the engine at
altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters)with the high altitude
kit is not recommended.
