before operating machine. Never direct
discharge toward bystanders. Release the
auger control bar and stop the engine
before unclogging discharge chute or auger
housing and before leaving the machine.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING: Experience indicates that
alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or
those using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture whic h 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, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage for 30 days or
longer. Start engine and let it run until fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use
carburetor bowl drain to empty residual
gasoline from float chamber (See figure in
Storage section, page 16). Use fresh fuel
next season. (See Storage Instructions on
page 16 for additional information).
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
