Storage
Prepare the product for storage at the end of the
season, and before more than 30 days of storage. If you
keep fuel in the fuel tank for 30 days or more, tacky
particles can cause blockage in the carburetor. This has
a negative effect on the engine function.
To prevent tacky particles during storage, add a
stabilizer. If alkylate gasoline is used, stabilizer is not
necessary. If you use standard gasoline, do not change
to alkylate gasoline. This can cause sensitive rubber
parts to become hard. Add stabilizer to the fuel in the
tank or in the container used for storage. Always use the
mixing ratios given by the manufacturer. Run the engine
for a minimum of 10 minutes after you add the stabilizer
until it flows into the carburetor.
WARNING: Do not keep the product with
fuel in the tank in an indoor location or in
locations with bad airflow. Risk of fire if fuel
fumes come near open flames, sparks, or
pilot lights in for example boilers, hot water
tanks and clothes dryers.
