Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil
leakage.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that
promotes rust and corrosion.
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 the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15
minutes before loading the engine-powered equipment on the
transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system can burn you
and can ignite some materials.
If the cylinders were coated with oil during storage preparation,
the engine may 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 ).
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel
valve in the CLOSED or OFF position to reduce the possibility of
fuel leakage.
Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility
of fuel leakage. If the fuel tank is equipped with a fuel valve, move
the fuel valve lever to the CLOSED or OFF position.
Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge the
battery once a month while the engine is in storage. This will help
to extend the service life of the battery.
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.
