•
Some pieces of power equipment are not used frequently. This can cause
problems due to the fact fuel has a limited shelf life.
•
It is very hard to remove all fuel from a carburetor so it is recommended to add
fuel stabilizer to fresh fuel and fill up the fuel tank. By having the fuel tank full
it reduces air space which helps with prolonging the life of the fuel.
•
Run the unit for two minutes to have the fuel get into all parts of the carburetor
and shut off the engine.
•
Even when using stabilized fuel if the unit is not run for over 6 months the sta-
bilized fuel should be discarded (please dispose of correctly according to local
codes) and refilled with fresh fuel.
•
Using old fuel can leave deposits in the engine even if it is able to start the unit.
•
Make sure unit is clean before storage. Make sure it dries completely before
storing.
•
Change oil as prescribed in the engine manual that comes with the unit. Usually
changing oil after the season removes contaminated oil from sitting in an idle
unit.
