Billy Goat HW651SP - Manual (Page 7)

Part No. 510267 Form No. F030906C
Never store engine indoors or in enclosed poorly
ventilated areas with fuel in tank, where fuel fumes
may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light, as on a
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliance.
If engine is to be unused for 30 days or more, prepare
as follows:
Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. Remove all gasoline
from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from
forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of
engine. Drain fuel outdoors, into an approved container, away
from open fl ame. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine
runs out of gasoline.
Using two people to lift machine is recommended. Lift holding the
handle and front of deck. Secure in place during transport.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil) is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits
during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or
storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 min. after adding stabilizer
to allow it to reach the carburetor.
CAUTION: Wheels must be chocked or blocked when
unit is parked on a slope.
