Engine oil
1.Change the engine oil (see page 19).
2.Remove the spark plug (see page 22), and pour a tablespoon
(5 - 10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Using the recoil,
crank the engine a few revolutions to distribute the oil in the
cylinder, then reinstall the spark plug.

Storage

If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and
carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor
ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any
appliance that operates with a flame, such as furnace, water
heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a
spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are
operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that
promotes rust and corrosion.
If there is gasoline in the fuel tank, leave the throttle lever in the
OFF position (GXV140).
Leave the fuel valve in the OFF position (GXV160K1).
Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil
leakage.
With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the engine to
keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt
(2)
some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A
nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting
rust and corrosion.

Removal from Storage

1.Check your engine as described in the pre-operation checks
section of this manual (See page 7).
2.If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank
with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for
refueling, be sure it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline
oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.
3.If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the
engine will smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
