Storage
WARNING
Gasoline vapors can explode.
• Do not store gasoline more than 30 days.

an open flame.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing it.
1. On the last refueling of the year, add fuel stabilizer to
the fuel as directed by the engine manufacturer.
2. Run the machine until the engine stops from running
out of fuel.
3. Prime the engine and start it again.
4. Allow the engine to run until it stops. When you can
no longer start the engine, it is sufficiently dry.
5. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
6. Remove the spark plug, add 30 ml (1 oz) of oil through
the spark plug hole, and pull the starter rope slowly
several times to distribute oil throughout the cylinder
to prevent cylinder corrosion during the off-season.
7. Loosely install the spark plug.
8. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.
