Storage
• When you finish working, clean the engine completely, making sure there is no
grass or dirt on the engine.
• Store the engine away from direct sunlight.
• At the end of the season, give the engine an overall cleaning and a thorough
check.
• Whenever the machine is not used for a long period of time, proceed as follows:
• Empty the fuel tank completely.
• Empty the Carburettor bowl of all fuel.
• Protect all metal engine parts from corrosion by coating them with oil.
• Remove the spark plug, put a few drops of oil into the cylinder and then pull
the recoil starter 2 to 3 times in order to distribute the oil evenly. Replace the
spark plug. This closes the valves, and protects them from dust and corrosion.
Coat areas that may rust with a light film of oil. Cover the engine and store it
on a level surface in a dry, dust free area.
