ENGINENever use engine or carburetorcleaner productsin the fueltank or permanent damage may occur to fuel systemcom-ponents.

fuel container.b. Drainthe fuel lines _ carburetor t)y starting

the engine and letting it run unti'tit stops.c. Allow the engine to coo] before storage.

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits fromforming in essential fuel system parts such as the carbure-tor, fuel filter, fuel line or tank during storage. Also, experi-en_. indicates that alcohol blended fuels, those that useethanol or methanol (called gasohol or oxygenated fuel),can attract moisture and form acidic gas which will damageyour engine. To avoid engine problems, the fuel systemshould be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer.

Fuel stabgizer is an acceptable artemative in mini-mizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.Add stabilizer to the gasoline inthe fuel tank or fuel storagecontainer. Akvays followthe mix instructionsfound onstabi-lizer container. Run engine at least 5 minutes after addingstabir_.erto allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor.

Craftsman 40:1 2-cycle engine oil is:speciallyblended with fuel stabilizers. If you do not use this SEARSoil,you can add a fuel stabilizer (such as Craftsman #33500)to your fuel tank.
