Fuel Stabilizer Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate, resulting in gum deposits in the system. These deposits can damage the carburetor and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent deposits from forming in the fuel system during storage by adding a quality fuel stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the recommended mix ratio found on the fuel stabilizer container. Start Engine 1. Make sure control lever is in neutral position. 2. Move the engine switch to the ON position. 3. Open the fuel shut-off valve. 4. Set the choke lever based on engine temperature. 5. Slowly pull the recoil starter until engine compression makes pulling difficult. Let the starter rewind a little and then pull smoothly and quickly to start the engine. 6. Repeat Step 5 as needed. 7. Fully open the choke and set the throttle to full fast before operating the unit. Tire Pressure See Specifications for tire pressure. CAUTION! Avoid injury! Explosive separation of tire and rim parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly: • Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job. • Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure. • Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel. • Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when inflating. Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side. Stop Engine 1. Return cylinder to fully retracted position. 2. Move throttle lever to slow position. 3. Move the engine switch to the OFF. - 14 -
