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!
Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do
not overfill. Wipe off any
spilled oil or fuel. Do not store,
spill or use gasoline near an
open flame.
