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

empty the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

cartridge system automatically drips con- centrated fuel preserver into your fuel tank and is an acceptable alternative to adding fuel stabilizer.

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.

_IbCAUTION: Never store the lawn mower with gasoline in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
