Store the unit in a horizontal position. If not
possible, store the unit vertically with the engine
at the top.
Long-term Storage
1. Remove the fuel cap, tip the unit and drain
the fuel into an approved container. Reinstall
the fuel cap.

stalls.
This ensures that all fuel has been drained from

motor oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter
rope slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the
spark plug.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it
for any loose or damaged parts. Repair or
replace damaged parts and tighten loose
screws, nuts or bolts.
5. Store the unit in a horizontal position. If
horizontal storage is not possible, store unit
vertically with engine at top.
