IMPORTANT INFORMATION Experience
indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
the fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas
tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
the next season. See Storage for additional
information. Do not use engine or carburetor
cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.
WARNING! The engine and the exhaust
system, become very hot during operation.
There is a risk for burns if touched. Allow
engine and exhaust system to cool before
refueling.
The levers are located on each side of the rear of
