read and follow the safety rules relating
to fuel before fueling your unit.
IMPORTANT
Experience
indicates
that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol
or using
ethanol or methanol)
can attract mois-
ture which leads to separation
and
formation
of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys-
tem of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, empty the
fuel system before storage for 30 days
or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor
are empty. Use fresh
fuel next season,
Never use engine or carburetor
clean-
er products in the fuet tank or perma-
nent damage may occur.
Fuel stabilizer
is an acceptable
alter-
native in minimizing
the formation
of
fuel gum deposits during storage.
Craftsman
brand oil is already blended
with fuel stabilizer.
See the STORAGE
section for additional
information.
