Other Storage Tips

• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on
essential carburetor parts, add fuel stabilizer into fuel
tank and fill with fresh gasoline. Run the unit for several
minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor.
The unit and fuel can then be stored for up to
24 months. Fuel stabilizer can be purchased locally.
• DO NOT store gasoline from one season to another
unless it has been treated as described above.
• Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt
in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.
• Store unit in a clean and dry area.
