In snow-covered areas, mountainous areas, skiing areas, etc. where ambient temperatures drop below
0°C (32°F) throughout the winter season, use an anti-freeze solution in the cooling system. Refueling will
also complement the effect of anti-freeze solution each time the fuel level drops to about one-half. After
the winter season, drain the water which may have accumulated in the fuel filter and fuel tank in the man-
ner same as that described under “Affected areas” below.

When the water condensation is notched in the fuel filter, drain the water from both the fuel filter and fuel
tank or use a water removing agent (or anti-freeze solution) in the fuel tank.
 Observe the instructions, notes, etc., indicated on the label affixed to the anti-freeze solution (water remov-
ing agent) container before use.
