Storing the Machine

WARNING

•Gasoline fumes are highly flammable, explosive, and dangerous if inhaled. If you store the product in an area with an open flame, the gasoline fumes may ignite and cause an explosion.

•Do not store the machine in a house (living area), basement, or any other area where ignition sources may be present, such as hot water and space heaters, clothes dryers, furnaces, and other like appliances.

•Do not tip the machine either forward or backward with fuel in the fuel tank; otherwise, fuel may leak out of the machine.

•Do not store the machine with its handle tipped down onto the ground, because oil will leak into the engine cylinder and onto the ground, and the machine will not start or run.

1.On the last refueling of the season, add fuel stabilizer to fresh fuel as directed by the engine manufacturer.

2.Run the engine for 10 minutes to distribute the conditioned fuel through the fuel system.

3.While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. Refer to Changing the Engine Oil.

4.Drain the fuel from the tank and carburetor by performing the following steps:

A.Loosen the fuel tank cap.

B.Unscrew, but do not remove, the small screw on the side of the carburetor fuel bowl (Figure 33) until the fuel begins to drain from the carburetor. Drain the fuel into an approved fuel container.

Important: Do not remove the carburetor bowl bolt on the bottom of the carburetor.
