Storage Procedure
1. Drain the fuel tank, the carburetor and the fuel sediment cup.
a. Remove the carburetor drain bolt and sealing washer.
b. Drain the gasoline from the carburetor into a suitable container.
c. Install the sealing washer to the drain bolt and tighten the
carburetor drain bolt.
d. Turn the fuel valve lever OFF and drain the fuel sediment cup.
e. Turn the fuel valve lever ON and drain the gasoline from the fuel
tank into a suitable container.
f. Install and tighten the fuel sediment cup securely.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
Keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
Handle fuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
2. Change the engine oil (page 38).
3. Remove the spark plug, and pour about a tablespoon of clean
engine oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine several revolutions to
distribute the oil, then reinstall the spark plug.
4. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the
piston is coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake
and exhaust valves are closed. Storing the engine in this position
will help to protect it from internal corrosion.
