ENGINE

Gasoline must be removed or treated to

prevent gum deposits from forming in the fuel tank, filter, hose, and carburetor during storage. Also, during storage al- cohol blended gasoline that uses etha- nol or methanol (sometimes called gasohol) attracts water. It acts on the

gasoline to form acids which damage the engine.

. Run the engine untilthe fuel tank is empty and the engine stops.

2.If you do not remove the gasoline, usefuel stabilizer suppliedwith unit or purchase Craftsman Fuel Stabi- lizer No. 3550. Add fuel stabilizerto any gasoline left in the tank to mini- mize gum depositsand acids. If the fuel tank is almost empty, mix stabi- lizer with fresh gasoline in a sepa- rate container and add some to the fuel tank.

. Always follow the instructions on the stabilizer container. After the stabi-

lizer is added to the fuel tank, run the engine at least ten minutes to allow the mixture to reach the car- buretor.

,Change the engine oil.

5.Remove the spark plug and pour about 15 ml (1/2 oz) of engine oil intothe cylinder.Replace the spark

plug and crank slowlyto distribute the oil.

. Store in a clean and dry area, but NOT near a stove, furnace or water heater which uses a pilot light or any device that can create a spark.
