TION section of this manual, see message la-
beled IMPORTANT regarding the use of ga-
sohol in your engine. Fuel stabilizer is an ac-
ceptable alternative in minimizing the formation
of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabi-
lizer to gasoline in fuel tank or fuel storage con-
tainer. Follow the mix instructions found on sta-
bilizer container. Run engine at least 5 minutes
after adding stabilizer.
During storage of your gas/
oil mixture, the oil will sepa-
rate from the gas.
We recommend that you
shake the gas can weekly
to insure proper blending of
the gas and oil.
