STORAGE
Engine Oil
1.
Change the engine oil (see page 45).
2.
Remove the spark plug, and pour between one and two teaspoons
(5 10cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine
several revolutions to distribute the oil, then reinstall the spark plug.
3.
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.
Battery
Charge the battery before storing the generator (see page
64
56
).
