4. install fuel capand wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.
CAUTION!Alcohol-blendedfuels (calledgasohol, ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture, which leadsto separation and
formation of acids during storage.Acidic gascan damagethe
fuel system of an enginewhile in storage.
To avoidengine problems, the fuel system should betreated
with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. If adding a fuel preserver,fill thefuel tank with fresh
fuel. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If fuel preserver is not used,
drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Usefresh fuel next season.
SeeStoragefor additional information.

* For most effective cleaning, keepspray tip from 8 to
24 inches (20 to 61 cm) awayfrom cleaning surface.
* If you get spray tip too close, especiallyusing a high
pressure spray tip, you may damagesurfacebeing
cleaned.
* DONOTget closer than 6 inches (15 cm) when cleaning
tires.
3. Formost effective cleaning, keepturbo nozzlefrom 8 to
24 inches awayfrom cleaning surface. If you get turbo
