CAUTION: 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 an engine while in storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied 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. See

STORAGE Instructions for additional information.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors, with the engine running, or while the engine is hot. Do not smoke while filling tank.
