Other Storage Tips
•To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on essential carburetor parts, add fuel stabilizer into fuel tank and fill with fresh fuel. Run the unit for several minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor. The unit and fuel can then be stored for up to
24 months. Fuel stabilizer can be purchased locally.
•DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it has been treated as described above.
