2. Change the engine oil

3. Pull the starter slowly until a resistance is felt. This closes the
8
valves and protects them from dust and corrosion.
-
4. Coat all surfaces liable to rust with a thin film of oil. Cover the
lawnmower and store it on a flat surface in a dry, dust free place.
5
Do not use a plastic cover since this retains dampness.
-
NOTE : If the lawnmower is to be stored for a period of more than
3 months, remove the spark plug and pour 5 to 10 cc of clean engine
oil into the cylinder; then pull the starter slowly two or three times to
spread the oil. Do not leave the lawnmower lying on its side over
long periods. This may cause difficult starting and gear oil leaks.

FUEL STORAGE
NOTE :
• Petrol will oxidize and deteriorate in storage.
Old petrol will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that
clog the fuel system. If the petrol in your engine deteriorates
during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other
fuel system components serviced or replaced.
• Ensure that you use containers
or drums specifically designed
B3 D2
for hydrocarbons [6]. This will
prevent polluting the fuel
D3 D4
through the dissolution of the
container walls, which will lead
to poor functioning of the
engine.
• Store the fuel in a dark place, in
a room at constant temperature
(avoid garden sheds).
• The warranty does not cover a blocked carburetor or valves
jammed by old or polluted fuel.
• The quality of unleaded petrol alters very quickly (2 to 3 weeks in
some cases). Do not use fuel more than 1 month old. Store the
absolute minimum required for your monthly consumption.
