If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and

carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor

ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any

appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water

heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-

producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated.

If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that

promotes rust and corrosion.

Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil

leakage.

With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the engine to

keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt

some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A

nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting

rust and corrosion.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you

can be burned or seriously injured when handling

fuel.

Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.

Wipe up spills immediately.

Place an approved gasoline container below the carburetor, and

use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel.

If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the

engine will smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.

If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with

fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be

sure it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and

deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.

Check your engine as described in the

BEFORE OPERATION

CHECKS

section of this manual (see page ).

If equipped with a battery for electric starter types, recharge the

battery once a month while the engine is in storage.

This will help to extend the service life of the battery.

Handle fuel only outdoors.

Remove the carburetor drain bolt and gasket. Remove the

sediment cup and O-ring, then move the fuel valve lever to the

ON position.

After all the fuel has drained into the container, reinstall the

drain bolt, gasket, sediment cup and O-ring. Tighten the drain

bolt and sediment cup securely.

Change the engine oil (see page ).

Pour a tablespoon 5 10 cm

(5 10 cc) of clean engine oil into

the cylinder.

Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the

cylinder.

Reinstall the spark plug.

Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt and the notch

on the starter pulley aligns with the hole at the top of the recoil

starter cover. This will close the valves so moisture cannot enter

the engine cylinder. Return the starter rope gently.

Remove the spark plug (see page ). Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility

of fuel leakage. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position (see

page ).
