Storage Precautions
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 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 sheet plastic as a dust cover.
A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting
rust and corrosion.
If installed, 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 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.
Before you can transport or store the engine, the LPG or NATURAL
GAS supply line must be disconnected. A qualified LPG or
NATURAL GAS technician must do this. Consult a local LPG or
NATURAL GAS supplier or your servicing dealer.
