dust and store in a clean, dry place.
When re-commissioning after a long period of
storage
1. Change the engine oil.

loosen the carburettor's drain screw and allow the
petrol to run out. Also open the fuel valve so that the
petrol drains from the tank.

knurled screw.
If the engine is operated in very dusty environments,
clean the air filter daily or after every ten operating
hours.
Never run the engine without an air filter or with a dam-
aged air filter. This would allow dirt into the engine,
which would result in severe damage to the engine.
