Fog the Engine
• Tilt the cargo box to access the spark plug(s).
• Remove the spark plug(s), rotate the piston to the bottom of its stroke, and pour approximately 2.0
oz. (15mL~20mL) of engine oil into the opening.
NOTE:
Do this carefully! If you miss the spark plug hole, oil will drain from the spark plug cavity, and appear to be
an oil leak. To access the spark plug hole, use a section of clean hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle
filled with the pre-measured amount of oil.
• Reinstall the spark plug(s). Torque the spark plug to specification.
• Turn engine over several times slowly. Oil will be forced in and around the piston, piston rings and
the

• Reinstall the spark plug(s), cap(s), and side panel.
NOTE:
Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the protective film created by fogging. Corrosion
could occur. Never start the engine during the storage period.
