PREPARATIONS FOR STORAGE
1. Discharge Fuel
If you do not use the engine for more than 3 months, discharge fuel to prevent
gum in the fuel system and carburetor parts.
• Open the fuel shut-off valve (if equipped)
• Remove the drain screw of the carburetor fl oat chamber and discharge fuel into a
suitable container (do not use glass or styrofoam).
2. Engine Oil
• Change the engine oil with fresh oil. See maintenance table.
• Remove the spark plug, pour about 1 tsp. (5cc) of engine oil into the cylinder.
Slowly pull the starter handle of the recoil starter 2 or 3 times, and replace the
spark plug.
3. Clean and Store
• Slowly pull the recoil starter handle until resistance is felt and leave it in that
position to keep moisture out of the combustion chamber.
• Clean the engine thoroughly with a cloth, and store the engine indoors in a
well ventilated, low humidity area.
