painting.
BATTERY
Fully charge
the battery
for storage.
After
a period
of time in storage,
battery
may require
recharging.
To help prevent
corrosion
and power
leakage
during
long periods
of storage,
battery
cables
should
be disconnected
and battery
cleaned
thoroughly
(see
"TO CLEAN
BATTERY
AND TER-
MINALS"
in the Maintenance
section
of
this manual).
After

ENGINE
FUEL
SYSTEM
iMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel
system
parts such as carburetor,
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.
Empty the fuel tank by starting
the engine
and letting
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
al-
ternative
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 empty
the gas
tank and carburetor
if using
fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE

oil (with
engine
warm)
