STORAGE
Engine
Consult the Engine Owner’s Manual for manufacturer’s
recommendations forstorage.
To Prevent Fuel-Related Problems
1. Add Ethanol Shield
TM
fuel stabilizer following the
manufacturer’s instructions. When adding a gasoline
stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only partially
filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during
storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be
sure that it contains only freshgasoline.
2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine outdoors
for 10 minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced
the untreated gasoline in thecarburetor.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the OFFposition.
4. Continue to run the engine until it stops from the lack of
fuel in the carburetor fuel bowl. Running time should be less
than 3minutes.
