SHORT-TERM STORAGE

pressure water or store outdoors.

soap and water.

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.
a. Add fuel stabilizer (see
on page 15) or equivalent according
to manufacturer's instructions to the
fuel tank and any fuel containers with
remaining fuel.
b. Run engine outdoors for at least
5 minutes to allow stabilizer to reach
the carburetor.
