WARNING: Perform the following steps after each use:

•Allow engine to cool, and secure the unit before storing or transporting.

•Store unit and fuel in a well venti- lated area where fuel vapors cannot

reach sparks or open flames from water heaters, electric motors or

switches, furnaces, etc.

•Store unit with all guards in place. Position unit so that any sharp object cannot accidentally cause injury.

•Store unit and fuel well out of the reach of children.

SEASONAL STORAGE

Prepare unit for storage at end of sea-

son or if it will not be used for 30 days or more.

If your unit is to be stored for a period of time:

•Clean the entire unit before lengthy storage.

•Store in a clean dry area.

•Lightly oil external metal surfaces.

FUEL SYSTEM

Empty the fuel system before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the

fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. Under FUELING

ENGINE in the OPERATION section of this

manual, see message labeled IMPORTANT regarding the use of gaso- hol in your engine.

Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alterna- tive in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabi- lizer to gasoline in fuel tank or fuel stor- age container. Follow the mix instruc- tions found on stabilizer container. Run

engine at least 3 minutes after adding stabilizer.

Craftsman 40:1,2-cycle engine oil (air cooled) is already blended with fuel stabilizer. If you do not use this Sears

oil, you can add a fuel stabilizer to your fuel tank.

ENGINE

•Remove spark plug and pour 1 tea- spoon of 40:1,2-cycle engine oil (air cooled) through the spark plug open- ing. Slowly pull the starter rope 8 to 10 times to distribute oil.

•Replace spark plug with new one of recommended type and heat range.

•Clean air filter.

•Check entire unit for loose screws, nuts, and bolts. Replace any dam- aged, broken, or worn parts.

•At the beginning of the next season, use only fresh fuel having the proper gasoline to oil ratio.

OTHER

•Do not store gasoline from one sea- son to another.

•Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust.
