Engine Storage Procedure

When not operating your Kawasaki engine more
than 30 days, add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank and run
engine for 5 minutes then drain the fuel tank.
After draining the fuel tank, run the engine at low
idle until engine stalls.
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be
explosive under certain conditions. Drain fuel
before storing the equipment for extended pe-
riods. Drain gasoline in a well-ventilated area
away from any source of flame or sparks, in-
cluding any appliances with a pilot light.
Store gasoline in an approved container in
safe location.
•
Remove the spark plugs and pour approx. 1 ~ 2
mL (1/2 teaspoon) of engine oil through the spark
plug holes (A) and then screw the spark plugs in
after turning the engine a few times. Slowly turn
the engine until you feel compression and then
leave it there. This blocks the air inside the cylin-
der and prevents rust inside the engine.
•
Wipe the body with oily cloth.
•
Wrap the engine with plastic sheeting and store it
in a dry place.

STORAGE

•
Change engine oil for next use after period of stor-
age (refer to "Oil Change" section in "MAINTE-
NANCE" chapter).
Gasoline is a toxic substance. Dispose of
gasoline properly. Contact your local author-
ities for approved disposal methods.
