GAS:
•Fill gasoline tank with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE PREMIUM GASOLINE.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERFILL TANK (SEE

WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blend- ed 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 shouldbe emptied before storage for 30 days or longer° Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fueliines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
next season_ See Storage Instructions for additional information.
