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 fuel. 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 fuel 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.
