CAUTION: During storage, it is important to prevent deposits
from occuring in fuel system parts like the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose and the fuel tank. Alcohol gasoline mixtures
(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) attract moisture
causing acid deposits during storage° While the unit is in
storage, the acids in the fuel can damage the fuel system° To
prevent engine problems with the fuel system, empty the fuel
system before storage of 30 days or longer.
