Off-Season Storage
WARNING: Never store the machine or fuel container indoors where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on water heater, furnace, clothes dryer, or other gas appliance.
WARNING: Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away from an open flame. Allow engine to cool. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition prior to draining fuel. Fuel left in engine for extended periods deteriorates and will cause starting problems.
If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for storage as follows:
•Remove gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine.
•Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine stops due to lack of fuel.
•Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain, located below the carburetor cover.
