Storage
Gasoline can oxidize in as little as 30 days, causing gum and varnish to build up in
fuel system components.
NOTE
Ensure that the storage area is free of excess humidity and dust.
To prevent corrosion, coat screws and exposed metal with anti-rust oil
at least twice per year.
Storage Duration
Less than 1 Month
1 Month to 1 Year
1 Year or More
Preparation Required
No storage preparation required, simply store
as is.
Drain the old gas and completely fill the
tank with fresh gas before storage. Add fuel
stabilizer according to the manufacturer's
directions. Adding a quality fuel stabilizer can
keep gas fresh for up to a year.
Drain off the gasoline from the fuel tank, and
store in a suitable container. This will help prevent
deposits from forming in the fuel system.
Change oil while engine is still warm from
operation.
Remove the spark plug, and pour a tablespoon
of clean engine oil (10~20ml) into the cylinder.
Revolve the engine several times by pulling on the
recoil start to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark
plug.
Pull the starter grip slowly until you feel resistance.
At this point, the piston is coming up on its
compression stroke and both the intake and
exhaust valves are closed. This position helps to
protect the engine from internal corrosion.
