Fuel System Maintenance - Honda HS750EA El Manual Del Propietario

When maintained properly, your Honda snow thrower should provide years of trouble-free operation. This includes the fuel system. However,
petrol can quickly deteriorate, causing starting or running problems and, in some cases, damage to the fuel system. Most fuel-related problems
can be avoided by following the precautions listed below. Fuel system damage and engine performance problems resulting from deteriorated
fuel are not covered under warranty.
During the Snow Season
Do not use petrol containing more than 10% ethanol.
Store petrol in a clean, plastic, sealed container approved for fuel
storage.
Store your fuel supply container away from direct sunlight; if the
container has a vent, keep it closed.
Purchase only enough petrol to last for 30 to 60 days.
If you purchase enough petrol to last for more than 60 days, add a
fuel stabilizer to your storage tank when you fill it.
When you finish snow throwing, turn the fuel valve OFF and fill the
snow thrower's fuel tank.
3 to 4 Weeks Before Next Use
Turn the fuel valve OFF and fill the snow thrower's fuel tank.
With the fuel valve off, start the engine and let it run until it runs out
of petrol. Running time should be approximately 3 minutes.
1 to 3 Months Before Next Use
If you did not add fuel stabilizer to your fuel storage tank when you
filled it up, fill your snow thrower's fuel tank with fresh petrol.
Add fuel stabilizer to the snow thrower tank according to the
stabilizer manufacturer's instructions.
Run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes.
Stop the engine and turn the fuel valve OFF. Restart the engine and
let it run until it runs out of petrol. Running time should be
approximately 3 minutes.
More Than 3 Months Before Next Use
Drain the fuel following the procedure on
engine and let it run long enough to empty all the petrol from the
entire fuel system, including the fuel tank. Do not allow petrol to
remain in your snow thrower for more than 3 months of inactivity.
If you have fuel left in your storage container at the end of the season, you can add the petrol to your car's petrol tank, provided your car's
tank is fairly full.

A high level of ethanol in petrol attracts water and can corrode or
damage the fuel system and cause performance problems.
A clean plastic container will prevent rust and metallic contaminants
from entering the fuel system.
Petrol will deteriorate faster when exposed to air and sunlight.
Petrol deteriorates with age, so try to avoid storing it for long
periods.
Fuel stabilizer will extend the shelf life of petrol, but it will not
reconstitute stale fuel.
If the fuel tank is only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration.
If the fuel tank is only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration.
The small amount of petrol in your snow thrower's carburetor will
deteriorate faster than the fuel in the fuel tank due to its small
volume and heat from the engine.
If the fuel tank is only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration.
Fuel stabilizer will extend the life of petrol, but it will not reconstitute

To make sure treated petrol has replaced untreated petrol
throughout the fuel system.
The small amount of petrol in your snow thrower's carburetor will
deteriorate faster than the fuel in the fuel tank due to its small

All fuel stabilizers have a shelf life. It is good practice to empty the
fuel system for long term inactivity.
