Storage Safety

Always shut off the machine, wait for all moving
parts to stop, and allow the machine to cool before
adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
Preparing the Machine for
Storage
WARNING
Gasoline vapors can explode.
• Do not store gasoline more than 30 days.
• Do not store the machine in an enclosure
near an open flame.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing it.
1. On the last refueling of the year, add fuel
stabilizer to the fuel as directed by the engine
manufacturer.
2. Run the machine until the engine shuts off from
running out of fuel.
3. Allow the engine to run until it shuts off.
When you can no longer start the engine, it is
sufficiently dry.
4. Remove the wire from the spark plug and leave
loose.
5. Remove the spark plug, add 15 ml (0.5 oz) of
oil through the spark-plug hole, and pull the
starter rope slowly several times to distribute
oil throughout the cylinder to prevent cylinder
corrosion during the off-season.
6. Install the spark plug and tighten it with a torque
wrench to 23 N∙m (17 ft-lb).
7. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.
8. Store the machine in a cool, clean, dry place.
