Engine Long Term Storage

• Remove the spark plug and pour about 1 teaspoon of 10W30 engine oil into the spark plug hole. Reinstall the spark plug.
With the 3 in 1 switch in the "OFF" position, pull the recoil starter cord several times to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
• Slowly pull the recoil starter until you feel the engine build compression (when you feel resistance). Leave the engine in
this state as this will prevent any corrosion on the cylinder walls if stored for a long period of time.
