Fuel tank
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol, 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, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
the next season. See Storage
Instructions for additional information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaners
in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.
WARNING!
Gasoline is highly flammable.
Observe caution and fill the
tank outdoors
(see the safety instructions).
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust
system, become very hot
during operation.
Risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust
system to cool at least two (2)
minutes before refueling.
