ADD GASOLINE
o Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck, Do
not overfill.

tities that can be used within 30 days to
assure fuel freshness_
ACAUTION:
Wipe off any spilled oi! or
fuel.

atures below32°F(0°C),
use fresh, clean
winter grade gasoline
to help insure good
cold weather
starting.
CAUTION:
Aicohol blended
fuels (called
gasohol
or using ethanol
or methanol)
can
attract moisture
which leads to separa-
tion 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
should
be emptied
before storage
of 30 days
or longer.
Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor
are empty.
Use fresh fuel
next season.
