STORAGE
If you do not follow these steps, deposits may arise in the carburetor. This will cause starting
difficulties and may cause permanent damage.
Perform all the general maintenance that the maintenance section of your 'User Manual' is
recommended.
Clean the outside of the machine.
Remove all fuel from the fuel tank by tipping the content into a suitable container. DO NOT use stale
fuel in the next season.
Turn OFF the fuel tap.
After all the fuel has been removed from the fuel tank. Start the engine. Allow the engine to run in
idle until engine stops alone. This allows the remaining fuel to be emptied from the carburetor.
Allow the engine to cool down for about five minutes.
Remove the spark plug and pour 1 teaspoon of clean engine oil into the combustion chamber. Slowly
pull the starter rope several times to coat internal components.
Re place the spark plug.
Store the machine in a cool, dry place away from any source of ignition such as an oil burner, water
heater etc.
Disconnect the battery and store in a cool dry place. During storage we advise you charge the
battery at least once every month.
