FUEL SYSTEM

Under FUELING ENGINE in the OPERA-

TION section of this manual, see message la-

beled IMPORTANT regarding the use of ga-

sohol in your engine.

Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits

during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel

tank or fuel storage container. Follow the mix

instructions found on stabilizer container. Run

engine at least 5 minutes after adding stabilizer.

HELPFUL TIP

During storage of your gas/

oil mixture, the oil will sepa-

rate from the gas.

We recommend that you

shake the gas can weekly

to insure proper blending of

the gas and oil.

ENGINE

S

Replace spark plug with new one of recom-

mended type and heat range.

S

Clean air filter.

S

Check entire unit for loose screws, nuts,

and bolts. Replace any damaged, broken,

or worn parts.

S

At the beginning of the next season, use

only fresh fuel having the proper gasoline to

oil ratio.
