STORAGE
WARNING:
Gasoline left in the fuel tank over the winter period will become stale
and the engine will not start.
For long term storage and at the end of the season, the gas tank should be
drained. To drain the gas tank:
1. On the last refueling of the year, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel as directed by the
engine manufacturer.
2. Start the mower and run until it stops.
3. Try restarting the mower. If the mower does not start, the engine is dry.
IMPORTANT:
Do not store gasoline for long periods of time. Dispose of excess
gasoline in an environmentally safe way. Your recycling centre can advise
you on the best method of disposal. Make sure that the lawnmower has been
thoroughly cleaned before storing it in a clean dry place.
