Storage

Store the machine in a cool, clean, dry place.

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

1. On the last refuelling of the year, add fuel stabiliser to the fuel.
2. Dispose of any unused fuel properly. Recycle it according to local codes, or use it in your automobile.
Note: Old fuel in the fuel tank is the leading cause of hard starting. Do not store fuel without stabilizer more
than 30 days, and do not store stabilized fuel more than 90 days.
3. Run the machine until the engine shuts off from running out of fuel.
4. Start the engine again.
5. Allow the engine to run until it shuts off. When you can no longer start the engine, it is sufficiently dry.
6. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
7. Remove the spark plug, add 30 ml of engine 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.
8. Loosely install the spark plug.
9. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.

Removing the Machine from Storage

1. Check and tighten all fasteners.
2. Remove the spark plug and spin the engine rapidly by pulling the recoil-start handle to blow the excess
oil from the cylinder.
3. Install the spark plug and tighten it with a torque wrench to 20 N∙m.
4. Perform any maintenance procedures; refer to Maintenance (page 26).
5. Check the engine-oil level; refer to Checking the Engine-Oil Level (page 17).
6. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel; refer to Filling the Fuel Tank (page 16).
7. Connect the wire to the spark plug.
