1. Storage
(1) Preparation for Storage
Proper storage preparation is essential to keep your gasoline engine from breaking down and looking
good. Operation as follows to prevent rust and corrosion, keep the performance and appearance in
good condition, and make restarting the gasoline engine easier.
(2) Cleansing
Cool for at least half an hour after the gasoline engine is turned off before cleaning. Clean the entire
exterior, touch up paint where it has fallen off, and apply a thin layer of oil where it may rust.
IMPORTANT
Cleaning the gasoline engine with a rubber hose or high-pressure flushing device will allow
water to enter the air filter or silencer opening. Water can seep into the air filter element and
then enters the air filter or silencer, thus entering the cylinder and causing damage.
(3) Fuel
Gasoline may oxidize and deteriorate during storage. The long stored gasoline can cause difficulty
in starting and produce gelatinous deposits. It is necessary to repair or replace the carburetor or other
fuel system if the gasoline in the engine deteriorates during storage.
How long gasoline stored in a tank or carburetor without functional failure (shelf life) is affected by
a number of factors, such as the blending ratio (oil number), the storing temperature, whether the
tank is full, etc. The air in an unfilled tank can accelerate the gasoline's deterioration, also the high
temperature can. Gasoline may spoil within 30 days (even less if it is aged oil).
IMPORTANT
Damage to the fuel system or performance failure of the gasoline engine caused by the user's
storage improperly is not covered by the warranty.
(4) Drain off gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor.
Gasoline is flammable and explosive and has the potential to be
burned when handling.
Turn the gasoline off and keep it away from the heat sources,
sparks or open flames.
Can only be handled outdoors.
Wipe off spilled fuel immediately.
①Remove the fuel line attached to the side of the gasoline engine and drain the fuel from the fuel
tank into a special container. If the fuel tank is equipped with a fuel cock, turn the fuel cock to "ON"
position to drain the fuel. After draining the fuel completely, reconnect the fuel line.
②Loosen the drain bolt of carburetor to drain the residual oil into a container, after that, tighten the
drain bolt.
(5) Engine oil
①Replace the engine oil.
②Remove the spark plug.
③Add
about 5-10ml new engine oil to each cylinder.
