STORAGE
MOWER:
• Clean all debris off mower and engine with a rag or
brush.
• Do not use water.
• Oil all chains and wipe off excess oil with a rag.
ENGINE:
Engines to be stored over 30 days should be completely
drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits forming on
essential carburetor parts, fuel filter and tank.
NOTE:
The use ofa fuel additive, such as STA-BIL®,or an equivalent,
will minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits during
storage. Such an additive may be added to the gasoline in
the fuel tank of the engine, or to the gasoline in a storage
container.
a. All fuel should be removed from the tank. Run the
engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
b. While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase.
Refill with fresh oil.
c. Remove spark plug, pour approximately 1/2 ounce (15 cc)
of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oil.
Replace spark plug.
d. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinder, cylinder head fins,
blower housing, rotating screen and muffler areas.
e. Store in a clean and dry area.
IMPORTANT:
IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS
FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM
PARTS SUCH AS THE CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER,
FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE, ALSO,
EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED
FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING 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.
OTHER:

• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
