Fuel System
WARNING
• Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
• The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known, in certain
quantities, to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
CAUTION: 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. To
avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 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 next season. See storage instructions in
Section 17 "Maintenance" for additional information.
CAUTION: Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
Additional Fuel System Safety Instructions

• Always refuel with the engine turned off and outdoors or in a
well -ventilated area.
• Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where
refueling is performed or where gasoline is stored.
• Do not over fill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.
• If you get gasoline on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap
and water and change clothing.
• Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Gasoline powered
engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness
and death in a short time.
