NOTICE:
Ariens recommends using a quality
fuel stabilizer in all fuel. Gasoline left in the
fuel system without a stabilizer, even for short
periods of time, deteriorates and leaves
gummy deposits in the system that may
damage the carburetor and fuel hoses, filter
and tank. For the best effectiveness, add
stabilizer to all fuel containers whenever
purchasing fuel. Add the stabilizer to the
container before adding fuel.

on page 20) or equivalent
according to manufacturer's
instructions to the fuel tank and any
fuel containers with remaining fuel.
b. Operate engine outdoors for at least
5 minutes to allow stabilizer to reach
the carburetor.
