3) After all the fuel has drain into the container, reinstall the drain bolt and sediment cup.
Tighten them securely.
Storage Precautions
1) Change the engine oil.
2) Remove the spark plugs.
3) Pour a tablespoon (5-10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.
4) Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.
5) Reinstall the spark plugs.
6) Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt. This will close the valves so moisture
cannot enter the engine cylinder. Return the starter rope gently.
If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburettor, 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.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve lever in the OFF position to
reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
Position the equipment so the engine is level. 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.
If equipped with a battery for an electric starter, recharge the battery once a month while the engine
is in storage. This will help to extend the service life of the battery.
