FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming
in essential
fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.
Also, experience
indicates that 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.
1.
Drain the fuel tank.
2.
Start the engine and let 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
alternative
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 drain the gas tank
and carburetor
if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINEOIL
Drain oil (with engine
warm)
and replace
with clean engine
oil. (See "ENGINE"
in
the Maintenance
section
of this manual).
CYLINDER
1. Remove
spark
plug.
2.
Pour one ounce
(29 ml) of oil through
spark plug hole into cylinder.
3.
Pull starter
handle slowly
a few times
to distribute
oil.
4.
Replace
with new spark plug.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline
from one season
to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can
starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your
gasoline
will cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and
cover it to give protection from dust and
dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable protec-
tive cover that does not retain mois-
ture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot
breathe which allows condensation
to
form and will cause your unit to rust.
