Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
• Stop the engine and let it cool before handling fuel.
• Keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Handle fuel only outdoors.
• Keep away from your vehicle.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
1. 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.
2. Loosen the carburetor drain screw, and drain the carburetor into an
approved gasoline container.
3. After all the fuel has drained into the container, tighten the
carburetor drain screw securely.
Engine Oil
1. Change the engine oil (see page 8).
2. Remove the spark plugs (see page 10).

3. Pour a teaspoon 5–10 cm (5–10 cc) of clean engine oil into each
cylinder.
4. Turn the engine for a few seconds by turning the engine switch to the
START position to distribute the oil in the cylinders.
5. Reinstall the spark plugs.

Storage Precautions
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 a plastic sheet as a dust cover.
A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting rust
and corrosion.
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.

Removal from Storage
Check your engine as described in the BEFORE OPERATION CHECKS
section of this manual (see page 3).
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.
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. If the fuel tank is equipped with a fuel valve, move the fuel valve
to the CLOSED or OFF position.
