Removal From Storage - Power Fist 420cc OHV Mode D'emploi

8449019
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without
causing functional problems will vary with factors such as gasoline blend, storage
temperatures and the amount of fuel in the tank. The air in a partially filled fuel tank
will promote fuel deterioration, as will warm storage temperatures. Fuel problems
may occur in a few months or sooner if the gasoline was not fresh when the tank
was filled.
Adding a gasoline stabilizer that is formulated for this purpose can extend fuel
storage life. Deterioration problems can also be avoided by draining the fuel tank
and carburetor prior to storage.
ADDING A GASOLINE STABILIZER
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If the tank is only partially filled, air in the
tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage.
2. Add gasoline stabilizer. Ensure that the instructions for that product
are followed.
3. Run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to ensure that treated gasoline has
replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
4. Stop the engine.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

1. Check the engine as described in the section Operation - Before Starting
the Engine.
2. If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with
fresh gasoline.
a. If you keep a container of gasoline for refuelling, ensure that it contains
only fresh gasoline.
b. Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate over time, causing hard starting
(see Fuel).
3. If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine will
smoke briefly at start up. This is normal.
