TK, the most important thing is if you leave gas in it be sure it has stabilizer in it to keep it from varnishing the jet and reeds in the carburator. the other method to prevent this is run it out of gas before you park it for the winter.
other than that it really is just park it in the winter and get it out in the spring,
a little trick I learned from my dad is to put about 1 ounce of marvel mystery oil in the last tank of gas for the year also, this will help keep the internal parts from rusting and corroding, and do it again on the first tank of the year to help remove the moisture from the cylander and valves.
There is a product on the market called seafoam that does the same thing only it has a solvent base that also cleans everything, either will do what you want for the first tank of the year, but marvel for sure for the last tank of fuel.

A resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil is so far advanced as to make avoidance impossible.
