OPERATION
USING FUEL STABILIZER
Adding a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable
life of fuel and helps prevent deposits from forming that
can clog the fuel system. Follow the manufacturer's in-
structions for use.
Always mix the correct amount of fuel stabilizer to gaso-
line in an approved gasoline container before fueling the
generator. Run the generator for five minutes to allow the
stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.
