section before proceeding.
SHORT-TERM STORAGE
NOTICE: NEVER wash unit with high-pressure water
or store outdoors.

NOTICE: RC Mowers recommends using a
quality fuel stabilizer in all fuel. Gasoline left in
the fuel system without a stabilizer, even for
short periods of time, deteriorates and leaves
gummy deposits in the system that may cause
damage. For the best effectiveness, add
stabilizer to all fuel containers whenever
purchasing fuel. Add the stabilizer to the
container before adding fuel.
a.
Add fuel stabilizer according to
manufacturer's instructions to the fuel
tank and any fuel containers with
remaining fuel.
b.
Operate engine outdoors for at least
5 minutes to allow stabilizer to reach
the carburetor.
WARNING:
DO NOT operate the engine indoors.
5.
Close fuel valve and allow engine to stop on
its own from lack of fuel.

Turn key to off position and remove from
ignition.
