INTERNAL
ENGINE
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur to fuet system
components. Follow these instructions:
• Drain the fuel from the unit into an approved fuel con-
tainer.
• Drain the fuet lines and carburetor by starting the
engine and letting it run until it stops.
• Allow the engine to cool before storage.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel fitter, fuel hose or tank during storage.
Also, experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels,
those that use ethanof or methanol (called gasohol or
oxygenated fuel), can attract moisture and form acidic
gas which will damage your engine. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be emptied before stor-
age of 30 days or longer.
GAS TRIMMER
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
If your trimmer is to be stored for a period of time, clean it
thoroughly prior to storage. Remove any dirt, leaves, oil,
grease, etc. Store in a clean dry area.

Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing
the formation of fuei gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to the gasoline in the fuel tank or fuel storage
container. Always follow the mix instructions
found on
stabilizer containers. Run engine at least 5 minutes after
adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the car-
buretor.
CRAFTSMAN 40:! 2-cycte engine oil (AIR-COOLED) is
specially blended with fuel stabilizer. If you do not use
