lead and gum sediment interfering with future opera-
tion.
The air cleaner or carburetor intake, as well as the
exhaust manifold and breather openings, should be
taped or otherwise sealed off, for the duration of the
storage period.
All exposed unpainted metal parts should be coated
with grease or heavy oil.
Before starting the engine again, the crankcase drain
plug should again be removed, so that any condensa-
tion, which may have collected, may be drained be-
fore new crankcase oil is added.
A good plan, and one that is recommended, is to re-
move the crankcase bottom cover or oil base before
starting the engine, and scrubbing off all sediment
which may have collected there.
When replacing the bottom cover, a new gasket should
be used.
Be sure to fill the crankcase with a good quality
of crankcase oil to the high level point, before
starting the engine. Do not use any oil heavier
than SAE No. 30. Also be sure to put oil to the
proper level in the air cleaner. (.qee Lubrication,
Pane 7, and Air Cleaner, Pa~e 10.)
It is also recommended to use new spark plugs at the
beginning of the operating interval, especially if the
engine has given considerable service.
Refuel engine and follow the starting instructions as
shown on preceding pages of this manual.
It is highly recommended that machines be stored
inside a building. If this is not possible, the
engine should be protected from the weather by
a proper covering.
