FUEL SYSTEM

iMPORTANT: It is important to prevent ;lum deposltes from forming in essential Fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel 3ose, or tank dudng storage.

Also, experiance 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 and 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.

ENGINE OIL

•If possible, store your tractor indoors
