Storage

See Figures

and

If the engine will be out of service for two months or

more, follow these storage procedures:

1. Clean the exterior surfaces of the engine.

2. Change the oil while the engine is still warm from

operation. (Refer to Change Oil.)

3. The engine must be run until the fuel tank is

completely emptied, or the gasoline must be

treated with a stabilizer to prevent deterioration.

If a stabilizer is used, follow the manufacturer's

instructions. Fill the tank with fresh gasoline

and run the engine for 2–3 minutes to ensure

stabilized fuel has entered the carburetor.

To empty the system, run the engine until the

tank and system are empty.

4. Before transporting the engine, ensure the fuel

valve (A) is in the OFF position to prevent fuel

spillage. See Figure 6.

5. Remove the spark plug (D). Add one tablespoon

of engine oil into the spark plug hole. Reinstall

the plug, but do not connect the plug lead.

Turn the crank to rotate the engine two to three

revolutions. See Figure 1.

Figure 1.

place. Never store the unit where there is an open

ame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water

heater or other appliances.
