12.0.2
Emptying the fuel system
The gasoline in the fuel partially evaporates during long-term storage. The two-cycle oil in the fuel does
not evaporate. After long-term storage the mixture ratio of gasoline to two-cycle oil is no longer correct.
For this reason, the fuel system must be be empty for long-term storage.
1. Remove any dirt around the fuel cap.
2. Unscrew and remove fuel cap.
3. Pump the fuel out into a suitable container or tank, e.g. with a suction pump.
4. Position the fuel cap and tighten it.
5. Start the engine and let it idle until the fuel in the carburetor is used up and the engine stops.
