Long Term Storage
■
Remove the spark plug and pour about 7 cc (1/4 ounce) of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole.
Slowly pull the recoil starter 2 or 3 times so oil will evenly coat the interior of the engine. Reinstall the spark plug.
■
Before storing the unit, repair or replace any worn or damaged parts.
■
Remove the air cleaner element from the carburetor and clean it thoroughly with soap and water. Let dry and reassemble
the element.
■
Store the unit in a clean, dust-free area.
Whenever the unit will not be used for 30 days or longer, use the following procedures to prepare it for storage:
■
Clean external parts thoroughly.
■
Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank.
IMPORTANT!
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is
added.
1. Prime the primer bulb until no more fuel is passing through.
2. Start and run the engine until it stops running.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine will no longer start.
CAUTION!
Gasoline stored in the carburetor for extended periods can cause hard starting and could also lead to increased service
and maintenance cost.
