may spray from spark plug hole. To

 

 

 

 

prevent serious injury from fuel fires, follow these

instructions:

 

1.Carefully disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark plug. See Figures 38 and 39.

•Keep the disconnected spark plug wire securely away from metal parts where arcing could occur.

•Carefully attach the spark plug wire to the grounding post, if provided.

•Disconnect battery at negative terminal first, if engine is equipped with a DC electric starter.

•Turn all engine switches to “OFF” position.

•Remove ignition key, if provided.

2.Remove spark plug.

3.Squirt 1oz. (30 ml) of clean engine oil into spark plug hole.

4.Cover spark plug hole with rag to prevent fuel from spraying from spark plug hole when starter rope is pulled.

NOTES

For engines equipped with recoil starters proceed to Step 5. For engines equipped with electric starters proceed to Step 6.

5.Grasp starter cord handle:

a.Pull starter cord handle out slowly using a full arm stroke.

b.Repeat once. (This will distribute oil throughout the cylinder to prevent corrosion during storage.)

c.Proceed to Step 7.

6.Push starter button or turn ignition switch key to “START” position. Immediately release starter button or turn ignition switch key to “OFF” position. (This will dis- tribute oil throughout the cylinder to prevent corrosion during storage.)

7.Remove rag covering spark plug hole.

8.Install spark plug.

9.Carefully disconnect spark plug wire from grounding post, if provided.

10.Connect spark plug wire to spark plug before attempt- ing to start engine.

III. Oil

Change oil if NOT changed within the last 3 months. See "A. Checking and Changing Oil" instructions on page 13.

IV. Battery

See equipment manufacturer’s instructions for proper battery storage, if machine is equipped with a battery.
