Storage Precautions - Honda GX360 Owner's Manual

HELPFUL TIPS & SUGGESTIONS
Engine Oil
1. Change the engine oil (see page 26).
2. Remove the spark plugs (see page 39).
3. Pour a tablespoon (5-10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinders.
4. Crank the engine serveral revolutions to distribute the oil.
5. Reinstall the spark plugs.
Storage Precautions
If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and
carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor
ignition. 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.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve
lever in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
