TRANSPORT, STORAGE AND REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

TRANSPORT

Transport with the fuel cock turned off. Transport or store the engine when it is cool so as to avoid
getting burns or fire.
CAUTION:
Do not incline the engine so as to avoid fuel's spill. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite to cause
fire.

STORAGE

If the engine is not kept in use for a long time, be sure to store it properly. Make sure the storage
area is dry and free of dust.
1. Drain the fuel ...
a. With the fuel valve in the OFF position, remove and empty the sedi-ment cup.
b. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position and drain the gasoline from the fuel tank into a suitable
container.
c. Replace the sediment cup and tighten securely.
d. Drain the carburetor by loosening the drain screw. Drain the gasoline into a suitable container.
WARNING: Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Do not
smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area.
2. Replace engine oil.
3. Disconnect the spark plug. Fill about a spoon of fresh engine oil from the spark plug mount hole
into the cylinder. Crank the engine up to distribute engine oil evenly. Reinstall the spark plug.
4. Pull the starting rope slowly until feeling a slight anti-action, and then keep pulling it so as to
align the arrow of the starting sleeve with the hole of the starter. At this time, both the inlet and
outlet valves are closed so help prevent the engine inside from rusting.
5. Electric starter: disconnect the battery and store in dry and cool area. Charge once every
month.
6. Cover the engine so keep dust away.
