When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If 
only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during 
storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it 
contains only fresh gasoline. Add fuel stabilizer following the 
manufacturer's instructions.

After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to 
be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in 
the carburetor. Stop the engine, and move the fuel valve to the OFF 
position.

1. Place an approved gasoline container 

below the carburetor drain tube, and 
use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel. 
Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.  

2. Insert a long, flat-tip screwdriver into 

the access hole on the left side. 
Locate the carburetor drain screw 
near carburetor bowl. Loosen (don’t 
remove) the drain screw until the fuel 
starts to drain. Drain until the fuel tank 
is empty, then tighten the drain screw.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.

You can be burned or seriously injured 
when handling fuel.

• Keep heat, sparks, and flame away.

• Handle fuel only outdoors.

• Wipe up spills immediately.
