MAINTENANCE
Storage Procedure for Greater Than 3
Months
1. Clean the inverter as outlined in Cleaning the
Inverter on page 41.
2. Siphon all gasoline from the fuel tank as best as
possible.
3. Start the engine and allow the inverter to run until
all the remaining gasoline in the fuel lines and
carburetor is consumed and the engine shuts off.
4. Drain any remaining fuel from the float bowl. See
Draining the Float Bowl on page 38.
5. Change the oil (see Changing Engine Oil –
WH1000i on page 35) or Changing Engine Oil –
WH2000i Series on page 36).
6. Remove the spark plug (see Spark Plug
Maintenance on page 39) and place about 1
tablespoon of oil in the spark plug opening. While
placing a clean rag over the spark plug opening,
slowly pull the recoil handle to allow the engine to
turn over several times. This will distribute the oil
and protect the cylinder wall from corroding during
storage.
7. Replace the spark plug (see Spark Plug
Maintenance on page 39).
8. Move the inverter to a clean, dry place for storage.
