STORAGE/ TRANSPORTING

STORING YOUR ENGINE
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning. Clean all exterior surfaces,
repair any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.
CAUTION! Water with big pressure can enter into air cleaner and muffler and even into cylinder along
with air path, resulting in causing rust and water spatter on the hot engine to damage engine, so don't
wash engine until the engine is cooled.
1) Place a container underneath the carburetor, and use funnel for oil not spattering, close fuel cock.
2) Remove the drain plug and sediment cup, then, open the fuel cock.

3) Immediately reassemble sediment cup and drain bolt after fuel completely draining. And screw down.
4) Change the engine oil.
5) Remove the spark plugs.
6) Pour a tablespoon (5-10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.
7) Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinder.
8) Reinstall the spark plugs.
9) Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt. This will close the valves so moisture cannot enter the engine
cylinder. Return the starter rope gently.
10) Put the out case on the engine and place in the ventilated and dry area.
CAUTION! The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing functional
problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is
partially or completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration.
Very warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage.
Deteriorated gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. As a result, If the
engine is not used for more than one month, the fuel oil shall be drained thoroughly to prevent from deterioration of the
fuel in fuel system and carburetor. The failures of fuel system or engine performance arising from improper storage are
beyond the scope of the warranty.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
Check your engine as described in the chapter CHECK BEFORE OPERATION.
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 that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard
starting. If the cylinders were coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup.
This is normal.
TRANSPORTING
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. Move the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
