DRAINING THE FUEL TANK AND CARBURETOR
1. Place an approved gasoline container below the carburetor, and
use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel.
2. Remove the drain bolt, then move the fuel valve lever to the ON
position (see page 3).
3. After all the fuel has drained into the container, reinstall the drain
bolt and washer. Tighten the drain bolt securely.
Engine Oil
1. Change the engine oil (see
page 5).
2. Remove the spark plug (see
page 6).
3. Pour a tablespoon (5 - 10 cc)
of clean engine oil into the
cylinder.
4. Pull the recoil starter several
times to distribute the oil.
5. Reinstall the spark plug.
Storage Precautions
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.
If there is gasoline in the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve in the OFF
position (see page 3).
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.
Removal From Storage
Check your engine as described in the BEFORE OPERATION
CHECKS section of this manual (see page 2).
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.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the
engine will smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
TRANSPORTING
Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the possibility of
fuel leakage. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position (see page 3).
TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
WARNING
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.
Refuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
