Maintenance long Term STorage For storage of the screed for over 30 days, the following is recommended: Drain fuel tank completely, or add STA-BIL to the fuel. Run the engine until the fuel is completely consumed. Completely drain used oil from the engine crankcase and fill with fresh clean oil, then follow the procedures as described in the engine manual for engine storage.
