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.

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.

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.

If installed, 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.

Check your engine as described in the

BEFORE OPERATION

CHECKS

section of this manual (see page ).

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.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you

can be burned or seriously injured when handling

fuel.

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.

Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame

away.

Loosen the carburetor drain screw, and drain the carburetor into

an approved gasoline container. After draining is completed,

tighten the carburetor drain screw.

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.

Wipe up spills immediately.

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.

Reinstall the spark plugs.

Turn the engine for a few seconds by turning the engine switch

to the START position to distribute the oil in the cylinders.

Remove the spark plugs (see page ).

Change the engine oil (see page ).

Handle fuel only outdoors.

Pour 5 10 cm

(5 10 cc, 1 2 teaspoons) of clean engine oil

into each cylinder.
