Use and Care Manual

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel lter, fuel
hose or tank during storage. Also, alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine problems while in storage of 30 days or longer, ll the fuel tank to the top with fresh fuel treated with
STA-BIL® fuel additive to keep the fuel fresh and make sure it starts next season. Once fuel is treated, run engine for 2
minutes to circulate stabilized fuel.
