DRAINING FUEL TANK AND CARBURETOR
To help prevent gum deposits in the fuel system, drain the fuel from the tank and carburetor before
storing the unit for long periods of time. This will help prevent starting problems in the future. If the
unit is stored with fuel and the fuel becomes stale or turns gummy or to varnish the warranty does
not cover this repair or service.

Draining the fuel tank
Turn the engine OFF.
Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
Remove the fuel line that leads to the carburetor from the petcock by squeezing the ends of the
hose clamps and
sliding the fuel line off.
If needed, install a fuel hose that will extend to a suitable fuel container large enough to catch the
fuel being drained from the tank.
Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
When the fuel has drained from the tank, close the fuel valve and reinstall fuel line securely on
petcock.
