Preparing for use after storage

Info
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent
humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion.
Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Because
the engine will not warm up sufficiently, the water
vapor produced during combustion will condense, caus-
ing engine parts and the exhaust system to rust.
