the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the
equipment, especially any chains, springs, bearings
and cables.
Off-Season
Storage
Short-Term Storage
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts of the engine such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during short-term
storage (15-30 days). To prevent this, treat the fuel
system using a fuel stabalizer.
•
•
•
Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment.
Follow lubrication recommendations.
Store equipment in a clean, dry area.
Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL™ or ULTRA-FRESH™)
is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation
of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to
gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow
mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least
10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the
carburetor.
