1: Drain the fuel tank of all of the gaso-
line/two-cycle oil mixture. NOTE:Do not
use afuel mixture that is older than one
seasonin order to avoid varnish deposits
throughout the fuel system. Disposeof
the fuel mixture properlyi
2; Start engine and run until fuel mixture
is used upi This will preventpoor perfor-
mancefrom stale fuel when your equip+
ment is taken out of storage.
NOTE f Gasohol has beenused, com-
pleteabove instructions and then put 1/2
pint of gasolineproperly mixedwith two-
cycle oil (see Fuel Mixing Ohart)into fuel
tank andrepeat above instructions.
NOTE: Fuelstabilizer (Such as STA-BIL)
is anacceptablealternative in minimizing
the formation of fuel gum deposits during
storage. Add stabilizer to the fuel mixture
in the fuel tank orthe fuel storage con-
tainer. Always follow the mixratio in-
