LONG PERIODS OF DISUSE
IMPORTANT
the machine for a period of more than 2-3
months, we recommend you do a few things
before putting it away. This will make it easier
when you want to use the machine again and will
also prevent permanent damage to the engine.
• Storage
Before putting the machine away:
– Empty the fuel tank.
– Start the engine and run it idle until it comes to
a halt, so that it uses up all the fuel that is left
in the carburettor.
– Wait for the engine to cool down and remove
the spark plug
– Pour a teaspoon of fresh oil into the spark plug
hole.
– Pull the starter rope several times to deliver oil
to the cylinder.
– Replace the spark plug with the piston in the
dead end upper position (visible from the
spark plug slot when the piston is at maximum
stroke).
