FUEL STABILIZER

With the new fuel additives, it is critical to use the

vent fuel deterioration, gum formation and fuel
system components corrosion. Follow manufac-
turer's instructions for proper use.
Pour fuel stabilizer in fuel tank prior to starting en-
gine for internal parts lubrication so that stabilizer
flows everywhere in fuel system.
After engine starting, use primer several times so
that stabilizer flows inside it (on so equipped mod-
els).
Do not drain fuel system.
CAUTION: Fuel stabilizer should be added pri-
or to engine lubrication to ensure carburetor
protection against varnish deposit.

ENGINE LUBRICATION

Engine internal parts must be lubricated to protect
them from possible rust formation during the stor-
age period. To protect appropriately the engine
use storage oil (P/N 413 711 600 (Canada) or P/N
413 711 900 (United States)).
