HELPFUL TIPS 81 SUGGESTIONS
Engine Oil
1. Change the engine oil (see page 24).
2. Remove the spark plugs (see page 32).
3. Pour a tablespoon (5-l 0 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinders.
4. Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil in the cylinders.
5. Reinstall the spark plugs.
Storage Precautions
If your engine will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is
important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well-
ventilated storage area away from any appliance that operates with a flame,
such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a
spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that promotes rust
and corrosion.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve lever
in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
