3. Pull the starter rope until resistance is felt. This
closes the valves and helps to protect the com-
bustion chamber from corrosion.
4. Coat areas that may rust with a light film of oil.
Cover the mower and store it on a level surface in
a dry, dust free area.
Removal from Storage
1. Remove the spark plug; check that it is clean and
properly gapped (p. 26). Pull the starter rope
several times.
2. Thread the spark plug in as far as possible by hand,
then use the plug wrench to tighten l/8 to l/4 turn
further.
3. Check the engine oil level and condition.
4. Fill the fuel tank and start the engine.
NOTE:
If the cylinder was coated with oil, the engine will
smoke at start up; this is normal.
