NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
alternative
in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or stor-
age container.
Always follow the mix ratio
found on stabilizer container.
Run engine
at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer
to allow the stabilizer to reach the car-
buretor.
Do not empty the gas tank and
carburetor
if using fuel stabilizer.

with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in

tive cover that does not retain moisture.
