(5W30, 10W30, etc.) improve starting in
cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption
when used above 32-F. To avoid possible
engine damage from running low on oil,
frequently check your engine oil level.

container is clean and free from dust or other
foreign particles. Never use gasoline that is
stale from long periods of storage. Reinstall

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called
gesohol or using methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an en-
gine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, empty the fuel system before
storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the fuel
tank. Start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Never
