FUEL TANK

Gasoline ONLY (see Engine Specifications Section for requirements).
Fill fuel tank at the end of each day's operation to prevent condensation in the tank.
Drain and flush fuel tank every 1,000 hours or 12 months.
Avoid storing fuel over long periods of time. If fuel is stored for more than a month prior to
use or there is a slow turnover in fuel tank or supply tank, add a fuel conditioner to stabilize
the fuel and prevent water condensation.
Proper fuel storage is critically important. Use clean storage and transfer tanks. Periodically
drain water and sediment from the bottom of the tank. Store fuel in a convenient place away
from buildings.
STORAGE
If equipment is taken out of operation for the Winter season or a prolonged period, follow
below procedures to prevent machine or engine damage.
1. Clean the unit completely.
2. Drain the fuel system and fill it with preservative fuel. If preservative fuel is not
used, the system can be kept full with normal fuel but the fuel must be drained and
discarded at the end of the storage period.
3. Operate the engine until it is warm. Stop the engine and change the engine oil.
4. Operate the engine for a short period in order to circulate the lubricating oil.
5. Disconnect and remove the battery. Put the battery into safe storage in a fully
charged condition. Before the battery is put into storage, protect its terminals
against corrosion. Grease may be used on the terminals.
6. Remove the air filter. Seal the vent pipe of the fuel tank or the fuel filler cap with
waterproof tape.
