Observe caution and fill the

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Experience indicates that alcohol 
blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or 
methanol) can attract moisture which 
leads to separation and formation of 
acids during storage. Acidic gas can 
damage the fuel system of an engine 
while in storage. To avoid engine 
problems, the fuel system should be 
emptied before storage of 30 days or 
longer. Drain the gas tank, start the 
engine and let it run until the fuel lines 
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel 
the next season. See Storage 
Instructions for additional information. 
Never use engine or carburetor cleaners 
in the fuel tank or permanent damage 
may occur.
WARNING!
Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do 
not overfill. Wipe off any 
spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, 
spill or use gasoline near an 
open flame.
