At the end of the season, should you drain the gasoline as well as the oil? The Power Smart website only give directions for the oil.

Always drain the gas, unless you add the preservative, it is hard to drain, but it is. Small tank

My late husband never stored any of our mowers or snowblowers with gas or oil in them in the "off" season. I have no idea why but we had our mowers and snowblower for many years.

I just let it run till the gas was out. I don't plan on changing the oil till the beginning of the next season.

negative, it is a hot air machine.I believe oil may short it out, would definitely make a mess

So do I. I do not know. Tool still starts well and works good so I just work around the excess oil. Better a tad too much than not enough.

No. I had a bad leak so the power steering fluid reservoir was empty when I used it but I believe if there's still fluid in there you would have to only drain out enough to pour the bottle in

There is an indicator on it. Fill it until it shows as full. There is one oil for the motor and one for the pump on the model I bought. One for pump oil and one for motor oil.

U can drain the oil by removing the oil cap and then tilting the mower to the same side where u put the oil in.

no.. fuel will drain back into can on it's own.. just hang the pump assembly to dry until next use.

i have had good experience that way, but the thing started leaking oil a few weeks after i received it!!!! do i dare use it. also, if the power goes off it starts at a much higher temperature than i want...in other words it doesn't hold it settings.

You can set it up either way, I use an outboard thank with electric pump. The gas is gravity fed, unless you use the motors fuel pump.

As far as the oil, you have to know what your system is before you start. The other part about where to hook up, all cars are a little different, but you have to figure out which port is the low-pressure side. My experience has bee the port by the firewall on the passenger side.

Yes, but I leave it plugged in because the report generated let's you choose what trips were business by checking them on the webpage. I can track overall mileage better this way for oil changes, miles on tires and gas usage. Also to figure out ratio of business vs personal use. So far this product has been great and trouble free.

Don: I pull it by the power cord. But once a year I make sure that the cord is securely attached to the housing. I also tighten 4 screws for motor housing lightly to avoid the oil leak once a year. The first one leaked oil over time and killed the motor.

I'm not sure where your talking about, but the general idea is to put oil on one part of the chain and as it turns it distributes the oil. I would be more concerned if it doesn't look like the whole chain is getting oiled. At least the inside surface of the chain should be getting oiled.

I mix in gas after i put in the correct amount of oil so i can get %100 of the oil out of the container. I have had small amounts of gas and oil mix in the bottom on several occasions for weeks and weeks with no ill effect. Having said that I would not store gas in the container as it is not approved for it; but would it kill it? I highly doubt it.

I prefer using the pull start instead of the electric start. Change the oil, and spark plug as per the manual's instructions. Also, either store the generator without fuel in the tank, and drain the fuel lines, or add fuel stabilizer to keep the fuel from varnishing, which is bad.
