• Do not store gasoline from one season

to another.

gasoline will cause problems.

• If possible, store your unit indoors and

cover it to protect it from dust and dirt.

• Cover your unit with a suitable protec­

tive cover that does not retain moisture.

Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot
breathe, which allows condensation to

form and will cause your unit to rust.

where fumes may reach an open flame

or spark. Allow the engine to cool before
