Maintenance and Storage Tips

To avoid issues with a gummed-up carburetor from old fuel during equipment storage, follow these simple steps:

• Close the fuel valve to shut off the fuel supply.
• Start the engine and let it run until it stops on its own. This burns the remaining fuel in the carburetor.
• This process ensures the carburetor stays clean and prevents fuel deposits from clogging the system.
• When putting the equipment back into service, refill the tank with fresh fuel before opening the fuel valve.

By following this method, you will avoid common carburetor problems and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
