5.
Choke the engine. Start and run the engine until
it does not start.

the engine, pour 2 tablespoons of engine oil into
each spark plug hole. Now use the starter to
crank the engine and distribute the oil inside the
cylinders. Install the spark plugs. Do not install

Preparing the Battery
1.
Remove the battery terminals from the battery
posts and remove the battery from the machine.
2.
Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with a
wire brush and baking soda solution.
3.
Coat the cable terminals and battery posts with
Grafo 112X skin-over grease (the manufacturer
Part No. 505-47) or petroleum jelly to prevent
corrosion.
4.
Slowly recharge the battery every 60 days for 24
hours to prevent lead sulfation of the battery. To
prevent the battery from freezing, make sure it
is fully charged. The specific gravity of a fully
charged battery is 1.265 to 1.299.
5.
Either store the battery on the shelf or on the
machine. Leave the cables disconnected if it
is stored on the machine. Store it in a cool
atmosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the
charge in the battery.
