II. Oil Cylinder Bore

WARNING

 

When lubricating cylinder bore, fuel

 

 

 

 

may spray from spark plug hole. To

 

 

 

 

prevent serious injury from fuel fires, follow these

instructions:

 

1.Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark plug. See "G. Avoid Accidental Starts" instruc- tions on page 2. See Figures 26 and 27.

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

Attach the spark plug wire to the grounding post, if provided.

Disconnect battery at negative terminal first, if engine is equipped with an electric starter.

Turn off all engine switches.

Remove ignition key, if provided.

2.Remove spark plug.

3.Squirt 1oz. (30ml) 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 and pull out slowly using a full arm stroke. Repeat once. (This will distribute oil throughout the cylinder to prevent corrosion during storage.)

6.Install spark plug.

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