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
instructions for use.
Always mix the correct amount of fuel stabilizer to gasoline
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.
