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.
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 ).
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.
If the cylinders were coated with oil during storage preparation,
the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
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.
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 to the CLOSED or OFF position.
Wipe up spills immediately.
Handle fuel only outdoors.
Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
Disconnect the fuel line to the engine, and drain the fuel tank
into an approved gasoline container. If the fuel tank is
equipped with a valve, turn the fuel valve to the OPEN or ON
position to enable draining. After draining is completed,
reconnect the fuel line.
Loosen the carburetor drain screw, and drain the carburetor
into an approved gasoline container.
After all the fuel has drained into the container, tighten the
drain screw securely.
Change the engine oil (see page ).
Remove the spark plugs (see page ).
Pour a tablespoon 5 10 cm
(5 10 cc) of clean engine oil into
each cylinder.
Turn the engine for a few seconds by turning the engine switch
to the START position to distribute the oil in the cylinders.
Reinstall the spark plugs.
