SEASONAL STORAGE
Prepare unit for storage at end of season or if it will not be
used for 30 days or more.

dealer.

PREPARING FUEL SYSTEM FOR STORAGE
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing
the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to petrol in fuel tank or fuel storage container.
Follow the mix instructions found on stabilizer container.
Run engine at least 5 minutes after adding stabilizer.

separate from the gas. We recommend that you shake
the gas can weekly to insure proper blending of the gas
and oil.
