Fogging the Engine
1. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
2. Open the service door. See page 46.
3. Remove the spark plug cap (A).
4. Using the provided park plug
wrench (B), remove the spark
plug.
5. Pour a tablespoon of clean
engine oil into the cylinder.
Crank the engine several
revolutions to distribute the
oil and then reinstall the spark
plug.
6. Ensure that the spark plug
sealing washer is in good
condition and hand-tighten the
spark plug to prevent cross-
threading.
7. Using a spark plug wrench, carefully tighten the spark plug. Torque
the spark plug to specification. See page 53.
8. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the
piston is coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake
and exhaust valves are closed. Storing the engine in this position
will help protect it from internal corrosion.
9. Re-install the spark plug cap (A) and service door.
10. Cover the generator and store it indoors, in a dry, well-ventilated
area, such as a tool shed.
