Dirt can also be introduced

into an engine In dirty fuel

from a contaminated

container. Always use clean

fresh fuel from a clean

container to guard against

dirt, sludge and water

contamination.

Be aware that fuel breaks

down In storage and forms

will block carburetor pass-

ages. Never use fuel more

than 3 months old. Drain

tank then run the engine out

of fuel before storing during

the off-season.

An engine must also have proper lubrication.

All engines use some oil On 4-cycle engines,

CHECK OIL LEVEL BEFORE EACH START-UP.

Wipe area clean around the oll check plug or

dipstick opening to keep dirt from falling Into

the engine when checking the oil Always

check with the machine on a level surface.

On engines with dipstick, keep the level up to,

but not over, the FULL mark. When adding oil,

allow time for all of the oll to flow down the fill

tube to prevent a false full reading when the

level could actually be low and result In engine

damage.
