FUEL SYSTEI_I

H_IPORTANT: 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, alcohol blended fuels (catled 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 al- ternative 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 empty the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer. NOTE: FRESH START TM fuel cap and

cartridge system automatically drips con- centrated fuel preserver into your fuel tank

and is an acceptable alternative to adding fuel stabilizer.

ENGmNE OraL

•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. mMPORTANT: Never cover mower while

engine and exhaust areas are still warm.

ACAUTmON: 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.
