To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be treated with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or

longer. If adding a fuel preserver, fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel

deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used,

drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel

lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
