Owner`s manual

The Limited Warranty does not cover fuel system damage or engine performance
problems resulting from neglected storage preparation.
You can extend fuel storage life by adding a fuel stabilizer that is formulated for that
purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and
carburetor.
Adding a Fuel Stabilizer to Extend Fuel Storage Life
When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only partially filled,
air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of
gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
1. Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer's instructions.
2. After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine outdoors forl0 minutes to be sure that
treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
3. Stop the engine, and move the fuel valve to the OFF position.
Draining the Fuel Tank Carburetor
1. Place an approved gasoline container below the carburetor and use a funnel to avoid
spilling fuel.
2. Remove the carburetor drain bolt and sediment cup, and then move the fuel valve
lever to the ON position (see figure 22).

After all the fuel has drained into the container, reinstall the drain bolt and sediment
cup. Tighten them securely.
