ENGINE

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur to fuel system com- ponents,

Follow these instructions:

a.Drain the fuel from the unit into an approved fuel container.

b.Drain the fuel lines and carburetor by starting the engine and letting it run until it stops.

c.Allow the engine to cool before storage.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from' forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carbure- tor, fuel filter, fuel I{ne or tank during storage. Also, experi- ence indicates that alcohol blended fuels, those that use ethanol or methanol (called gasohol or oxygenated fuel), can attract moisture and form acidic gas which will damage your engine. To avoid engine problems, the fuel =system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in mini- mizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

Add stabilizer to the gasoline in the fuel tank or fuel storage container. Always follow the mix instructions found on stabi-

lizer container. Run engine at least 5 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor.

NOTE." Craftsman 40:1 2-cycle engine oil is specially blended with fuel stabilizers. If you do not use this SEARS oil, you can add a fuel stabilizer (such as Craftsman #33500) to your fuel tank.
