###### SHORT TERM

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.

###### LONG TERM

IMPORTANT: Never spray unit with highpressure water.

###### START-OF-SEASON FUEL PREPARATION

Before opening the fuel valve for the first time after long-term storage, add fresh, stabilizertreated fuel to the fuel tank and any fuel containers with remaining fuel.
