mizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor age.  
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 carburetor.  Do not drain 
the gas tank and car bu re tor if using fuel stabilizer.

Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

•      If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give 

protection from dust and dirt.

does not retain moisture.  Do not use plastic.  Plastic 
cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and 
will cause your unit to rust.
