Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly ventilated
areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame,
spark or pilot light, as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or
other gas appliance.
If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare as follows:
Remove all gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent
gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible
malfunction of engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved
container, away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool. Do not
smoke. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine runs out of
gasoline.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing
the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in
fuel tank or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach
the carburetor.
