ARNING: Alcohol
blended
fuels (called gasohol or
those using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and
formation
of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys-
tem of an engine while in storage.
NOTE: To avoid engine problems, the
fuel system must be emptied before
storage for 30 days or longer. Start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh
fuel next season. See the Storage
section in this manual for additional in-
formation.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
