ENGINE
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.
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 en-
gine 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
alternative
in minimizing
the formation
of
fuel gum
deposits
during
storage.
Add
stabilizer to gasoline
in fue! 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
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 oi! 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 protect it from dust and dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable protec-
tive cover that does not retain moisture.
Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot
breathe, which allows condensation
to
form and will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT:
Never cover mower while
engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
_:;LCAUTION:
Never store the lawn
mower with gasoline
in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark.
