Maximum Fuel Level
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such
as the carburetor, fuel lter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Alcohol-blended fuels (also
called gasohol, ethanol, or methanol) attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic fuel and gum deposits can damage the engine’s
fuel system while in storage. Eects of old, stale, or contaminated fuel are not covered
under warranty.
NOTE: Using a fuel stabilizer when storing gasoline will help prevent problems related
to ethanol alcohol in outdoor power equipment engines. Always follow the instructions
provided by the fuel stabilizer manufacturer to mix and use correctly.
